About me
Namastey! I am Rachit Mathur, currently in my final semester at the Srishti Institute of Art, Design & Technology. Srishti being a multidisciplinary college, proved to be a fantastic experience for me. Not only have I been able to explore various design aspects, but I've also had the opportunity to experiment and push my work in new and exciting directions. From product, branding, and interfaces to weaving, carving & painting, you name it, and I've probably tried it.
I am not good with self-introductions, so a surf around my portfolio will probably give you an idea. I like to present my work as resonating with the homepage of "Wired". Whilst I still have a long journey, my design practice is about exploring unconventional ways of doing things. Why follow the crowd when you can pave your own path, right? I approach each project with a curious and exploratory mindset, eager to discover new solutions and push creative boundaries.
I get excited to study somewhat notionally trivial interactions, weird scavenger hunts, the small talk people do to curb awkward situations or stuff that is mundane but understudied. I believe something as simple as "What people carry in their bags (and why?)", the role of "faith" in online transactions, or even the conversations they brew at chai shops - can impact our designs in much broader senses and could package a really emotional experience for the users.
Previously, I used all these skills during my summer internships at Tata Elxsi (2022), where I worked as an UX Designer and at Lollypop Design Studio (2020) as a Researcher. I also have experience working for some startups (Origin UX Studio, 2020) and have been lately freelancing at Webflow by helping people design, develop and launch their websites.
