? Hi, I am Parag. I hail from a small hilly state called Tripura in India, and it's my first time in the US. I am currently pursuing my Master's in Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle. I am super excited to learn from the US tech industry and contribute as a designer.
I have an engineering background with a Master's degree in Geological Technology from IIT Roorkee, but I found my passion in UX Design through student projects and internships.
Before joining UW, I worked as an Interaction Designer at Samsung Research with the IoT Wearable and Intelligence Team—crafting experiences for Galaxy Watch users, designing applications of AI, and multi-device experiences.
⛰ ? ? I am passionate about hiking, trekking, and photography, and I love to watch animated movies. P.S. I'm a big Studio Ghibli fan!

Hobbies
Travel. Photography. Fitness. Hiking. Trekking. Gardening.
I find myself through travel & photography. My solo travels across the Himalayan foothills taught me to see the world through the lens of beauty in simplicity. It shaped me as a person and a designer.
Capturing the tiny moments of my travels through photography brings immense joy to me. I love creating a confluence of abstractness and the stories of the people I meet during my travels.
I love to trek and go hiking in the woods. It allows me to stretch my imaginations beyond preconceived boundaries and come back to the drawing board with a clear mind and new ideas.
One day I would love to open my own cafe right where the mountain meets the ocean — where I can meet weary travelers and share our stories.
Till then, the journey continues...
