Jishnu. yup 😊
Hi, I’m Jishnu. I’m a product designer based in Muscat (for now) with a background in visual arts, engineering, and UX design.
In my free time, I draw, relax, and watch quite a bit of YouTube. I also make a lot of cool stickers.
I graduated from Louisiana State University in May 2019 with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering. After that, I went on to General Assembly in Toronto to cement my design expertise.
It's the process that brings success; not the result. 🤔
I am able to apply my process from macro to micro and everything in between. Everytime applied it has delivered desired results.
👂Understand what needs to be accomplished
a project is like a machine and listening and understanding the different hums and mechanisms of the cogs enable for better decision making.
🧭 Explore the problem in different contexts
With the problem defined, analyzing from different angles in different contexts is crucial to learn and uncover potential action plans to a solution.
🗓️ Plan a plan-of-action
With all the pieces of puzzle in hand, it is now time to create a game-plan. Who? What? Where? When? Why? These are all questions that are answered in the best way possible.
✅ Execute.
Having reduced almost all the assumptions and doubts, it is now time to execute without fear.
🙌This is the fun part!
🔄 Iterate with intention
With the solution in-action, it is now time to evaluate, observe, and understand to answer these questions:
- what is going well?
- what is not that great?
- what can be done?
From here, I can sustain or pivot.
A harsh truth but not everyone values design. 🙄
I love design (and engineering). Design is an integral aspect that is prevalent within all fields. The main tenet of being an Industrial Engineer is to observe, understand, and optimize how the systems of humans, processes, and machines interact (sounds a little like UX to me). With my underlying passion for design, I knew that a healthy marriage between design and industrial engineering would ignite my spark for UX.
From timeless Tetris to the latest Call of Duty 🎮
Videogames are my passion. It would take me hours and hours to appreciate how game devs use creative techniques to make a living, breathing world (it's quite literally like magic) to creating incredibly real characters who have a gripping story to tell. Design thinking is required on all aspects like creating a variety of HUDs and UIs, level design, gameplay loop design, new player onboarding, and so much more!
Tobey Maguire is the one and only Spider-Man. 🙂
Movies are my passion also 😅 We live in an amazing time where we super-hero movies are booming and everyone loves it. While today's blockbusters are fun and all, it is important to go back to the classics and dive deep into genre-defining movies.
It just keeps growing every second. 📈
