HARSHITHA KOMMARAJU
Centering connection with people to produce valuable insights to drive efficient product designs.
ABOUT
Quick View
UX designer focused on research-driven, scalable systems with an emphasis on clarity, equity, and institutional impact.
Origin
I’m a UX designer, past game designer, currently pursuing a Master’s in Human–Computer Interaction.
Philosophy
My work centers on translating complex, constraint-heavy systems into efficient and humane experiences. I approach design through research, structure, and iteration, with particular interest in tools that serve institutions, communities, and social good initiatives
Beyond Work
Outside of design, I paint, photograph, make pottery, attend acting classes, and play tennis. These practices shape how I think about movement, storytelling, and presence, and often inform my approach to interaction and experience design.
