Design transcends mere pixels and code;
it's about giving technology a human touch and advocating for usability and accessibility.
This led me to learn the power of narratives and embrace a design thinking approach at Parsons School of Design, The New School, New York.
My work has been featured on platforms like IBM Quantum Jam, Games for Change, NYCxDesign, Dezeen, Wanderville Arcade, and XR Guild.
Working at an AdTech firm ignited my passion for design.
I participate in hackathons to stay inspired and acquire hands-on experience.
I bridge the gap between design and development
I create digital experiences that evoke emotion and foster meaningful communication. I have worked across B2B, Saas, AdTech, Fintech, and gaming industries.

Hey, I'm Simran
Working at an AdTech startup ignited my passion for design. This journey led me to pursue an MFA in Design Technology at Parsons School of Design in New York. There, I discovered each word's profound impact in shaping a compelling narrative. Parsons equipped me with the tools and exposure needed to embrace the design process—a shift that felt unconventional coming from my engineering background.
Since then, I’ve navigated the dynamic landscape of startups, immersing myself in the creation of websites, apps, games, and experiences. For me, design transcends mere pixels and code; it’s a medium for cultivating empathy and opening channels of interpersonal communication. I take pride in showcasing my work at exhibitions and hackathons, constantly refining my skills and staying attuned to emerging trends.
