URja thakkar

A Little About Me

My name is Urja, which translates to energy. Might I say I do justice to my name?

I entered the field of design due to my curiosity about why some interfaces feel more secure and humane than others. This intrigue ultimately drove me to pursue a Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction from the University of Maryland, College Park.

As a designer who formerly worked as a developer, my technical expertise enables me to create solutions that not only appeal to users but also developers, speaking their language. I firmly believe that people, technology, and design are the essential ingredients in creating outstanding products. Currently, I am seeking my next adventure to help develop technologies that empower users.
