About Me
Hey there ✨! So glad you stopped by. Let's get acquainted 😊
I’m Jagan Karanth, a product designer and digital tech enthusiast based in Bengaluru. My passion lies in transforming complex problems into meaningful and intuitive products and services. With over a decade of experience in the design industry, I’ve had the privilege of turning countless ideas into stunning realities that make a difference.
My journey into the world of technology began with a Diploma in Computers, where I dived deep into the mechanics and wonders of tech. This foundational knowledge set me on a path to explore web development, starting as a Web Designer. In this role, I discovered my passion for creating animations with Adobe Flash and motion graphics with Adobe After Effects. These experiences not only sparked my creativity but also fueled my desire to pursue a formal education in design, leading me to attend a prestigious design school.
After completing my design education, I embarked on an exciting career as a Rotoscope artist at a studio in Chennai, India. Here, I worked on the stereo conversion process for various Hollywood blockbusters, immersing myself in the world of visual effects. However, my thirst for new challenges and opportunities led me to join a dynamic startup as a Product Designer. Over the past eight years, this role has provided me with a wealth of learning experiences and the chance to work on diverse and impactful projects.
A product that doesn’t is just a pretty face, right?
I firmly believe that user research and empathy are the heartbeats of impactful design. By understanding the needs and desires of users, I create products that truly resonate and solve real-world problems. My inquisitiveness and passion for design drive me to constantly seek out the right solutions, enhancing my craft and delivering exceptional results every day.
