I’m Shaurya Narang, a UX Designer & Senior at UC Berkeley studying Media and Data Science :)

I’ve always been drawn to solving problems through creativity. Years of exploration in the disciplines of fine art, design, engineering, and technology have brought me healthy challenges, immense satisfaction, and childlike joy. I decided to become a product designer to be nestled at their intersection, as I love all of them.

I was raised in an Indian household, but in America, so I grew up having to meticulously craft a balanced cultural identity. But this multicultural upbringing has made me hyper-aware of cultural nuances. Understanding humans at a cultural and behavioural level is core to my values as a designer.

I work to employ this love and perspective in my quest to be full-time as a designer. My mission is to utilize my skills and to create inclusive, accessible, simple, and valuable products.

In my free time, I love to spend time with my close friends, my dog Theo 🐶 , read articles on Medium, make Tik Toks, and feed my cooking obsession by exploring food from different cultures.
