Hello,
I'm Apurva (uh-POOR-vuh)

You know that feeling when you use something and it just works?

That's what I'm afterdesigns that are simple, intuitive, and don't make you want to throw your phone across the room.

Why I'm Into This

I'm basically that person who can't help but notice the tiny details. Like when someone's finger hovers over a button just a little too long because they're not sure what'll happen. Or when a weird user flow completely kills the vibe. Or when one perfect little animation makes you trust an app without even realizing it.

Honestly? I was doing UX before I knew it had a name. Kid-me sketched, built stuff from scraps, and took apart gadgets just to see how they worked. That "wait, but why though?" curiosity is still my superpower.

Design sits right where art, psychology, and tech collide—and I get to turn confusing experiences into something that just feels right. Like it was always supposed to work that way.

That's my vibe.
