Hi! I am Het, an Industrial Designer currently based in India.
Always mingling with my thoughts, I strive to strike a chord
with the human psyche by designing great products. I am
very enthusiastic about multi-sensory experiences. Driven by
a curiosity for understanding human behavior and a
nonconformist attitude towards the status quo, my design mojo
comes from addressing two very important thoughts:
What if? and Why should they care? While one helps me
look for answers, the other makes me ask the right questions.
Put me in your A-team and let's create magic.
