'The world can be an overwhelming place, so I help people connect with experiences and brands by telling stories as a UI/UX and product designer. ‘

Hello, I am Gauri, currently based in Southampton, UK. I love seeing my designs come to life and helping users accomplish their goals. My knowledge of design principles, the software has always proven to be an upside for my projects. I believe in creating designs that are intuitive, accessible, transparent, and user friendly. I also believe in watching the same old movies again. Other than designing I love to talk about philosophy, sketch, cook, and hike. I also mentor young students from Myanmar just trying to figure out how I can help in someone else's journey.

My passion for design has taken the front forth in my life since I was 16. I taught myself through YouTube, numerous internships and just by following other designers. After 5 years, I moved to the UK to learn in a formal way about the world of UX with huge loan and pressure of paying it back, but all that paid off as I completed my masters with a distinction and paid off my student loan.

I bring both a research perspective and a creative problem-solving approach to developing the products that people love to use. I can tackle roadblocks, work in a multi-disciplinary team and combine innovative HCI and research principles. My knowledge of design thinking, 4-5 years of experience working with human centric products, proficiency in design and passion for accessibility, usability, user psychology, mobile specific products will allow me to play a valuable role in the implementation of design initiatives.

**Speaker Biography:**

I see art not merely as a tool for beauty but as a language of the subconscious, a bridge between the mind and the universe, and a path to inner healing. I have spent over 20 years searching for the essence of humanity in a world where cultural and racial boundaries are mere illusions.

My paintings reflect neural patterns,emotions,and inner energies, brought to life through NFTs to engage with the human mind and soul. By merging neuroscience, art, and technology, I create works that are not just visually captivating but also serve as a medium for expression, solace, and healing for cancer patients and children with autism.

I am a medium between the outer and inner worlds where art is not just an image but a window to the soul and a reflection of a truth beyond words. My mission is to bring this therapeutic art to the world through NFTs,allowing every individual, beyond borders, to rediscover themselves in these colors and perhaps become their own healer.

Chris writes things. That...feels ambiguous. You see, that used to say "Chris writes apps" because Chris is a web developer. But as of May 2018, Chris has also written a book. So...now it says 'things.' See? It's a pun on the word 'writes'. Haha!

Ahem. Let me start over.

Chris writes things. Most of the time, he's writing code at his 9-5 working for the amazing WillowTree, Inc (no, not the statuette company). But occasionally, late at night, once all the women in his life (1 wife, 2 daughters) have gone to sleep, Chris dons his superhero outfit (he's partial to Batman) and delves into fanatastical, imaginary worlds of his own creation, crafting stories that would amaze and astonish you if you were only to give him some of your money in exchange for his book. Currently, he's editing his first full-length fantasy novel and looks to seek publication once he's done.

In his spare time (wait, what's that?), he also enjoys playing video games, listening to audiobooks, watching movies, and spending time with the aforementioned 3 gorgeous women in his life.

He is passionate about being passionate, he's an extrovert who loves the chance to force an entire room to listen to him for 20+ minutes (please and thank you), and he's a follower of Christ who firmly believes that maybe being a Christian and being sane are NOT mutually exclusive things.

In short, Chris is totally awesome and he definitely did not write this bio.
