Bonjour!
I'm Sanket, pursuing my master's degree in HCI design from Indiana University Bloomington and will graduate in May 2017. I have worked on various projects- academic and professional- to better understand design and how to get to the problem-solution fit for a particular problem space.
I interned at LexisNexis Inc in the summer of 2016 as a UX Designer and got a chance to work on the flagship LexisNexis Advance product lineup for the company.
I'm currently looking for a full time opportunity in the summer of 2017, to apply my skill sets and my understanding of design and grow as a designer.
Welcome to my portfolio.
