Welcome! I'm Niranjan, and my name itself, which means "crystal clear," reflects my commitment to clarity and precision. Hailing from the vibrant nation of India, where colors dazzle with extra brilliance, I have embarked on a journey of learning and applying design thinking for the past two decades—both deliberately and serendipitously. What started as a passion for painting and performing in theater has now led me to be the Product Designer.
Driven by a deep appreciation for user-centric design and a human-centered approach, my strengths lie in extensive research and academic insights. When I'm not immersed in the world of design, I find solace in exploring the realms of painting, cooking, and photography. Moreover, I have been self-taught in playing the guitar for four years, adding another creative dimension to my life.
Join me on this journey as I strive to bring clarity, innovation, and a touch of artistry to the world of design.

PAPER FILIGREE
Paper Filigree (Originated in Ancient Egypt) is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. Here I have created 3-D Phoenix using a colorful long narrow piece of paper, of uniform width.
Face
Our face is full of emotions times it depicts something but we mean something else. Here I tried to showcase the human face with various emotions which I stitched with a tread but still, there is a small overlapping and space which we are never able to hide.
