I am Harini!
designer ✽ researcher ✽ creative technologist
My interest lies at the dynamic intersection of technology, society and culture wherein I endeavour to create novel interactions, interfaces, and tools across diverse contexts and settings.
I aim to create designs that are not only functional but also ethically grounded, culturally competent and at the forefront of technological transformation.
