A little bit about me
I'm Ramkumar, a UX designer based in Bengaluru, India. I've always been passionate about technology and its potential to serve people, which is why I enjoy UX design so much. I find it incredibly satisfying to create digital experiences that are both functional and enjoyable to use, and I believe that good design can have a positive impact on people's lives.
When I'm not designing, I enjoy capturing people’s stories through my lens. I’m also passionate about traveling and exploring new places on road trips, always eager to discover unique destinations and experiences. Whether it’s in my personal life or my design work, I’m constantly seeking new adventures and challenges to keep growing and evolving.
