Team CORE Introduction

Hello from Indiana University, Bloomington!! We are 2nd year graduate students in the Human-Computer Interaction design program and we all strive towards using design as our tool to create better human communication and collaboration. Here is a brief introduction from each of us:

Prashanth is a User Experience designer from Chennai, India. Coming from a background in computer science engineering and game design, he also brings 4 years of experience working as a UI designer. He got into the program to learn the best possible ways to create an experience that leaves a positive impression on the end users. His designs are grounded on thorough end user research and a drive to create the best possible solutions for the problem at hand. The link to his portfolio is http://www.prashanthcsekar.com.

Mehul is a designer and maker from India. His interest in emerging technologies is what brought him to design. He likes to find potential use case of emerging tech as well as designing for future needs. Playing with code or good action thriller keeps him awake late nights and design discussions leave him intrigued. His portfolio URL is http://www.mehulagrawal.in.

Chetan has been a technical writer for 5 years and his frustrations with complex application designs pushed him to attend graduate school and study interaction design. Chetan’s design process is ever-changing and is greatly informed by research, literature, and existing designs. His portfolio URL is http://www.chetanbhatia.com.

Trained as a software engineer, Nava has transitioned into design. He worked as a full-stack developer in two startups where he realized the importance of User Experience and then continued to pursue Masters in HCI. UX design to him is about creating memories.
