Rachit Mathur

Rachit Mathur

I like to present my work as resonating with the homepage of "Wired" magazine - it's all & everywhere! My design practice is about exploring unconventional ways of doing things. Why follow the crowd when you can pave your own path, right? I approach each project with a curious and exploratory mindset, eager to discover new solutions and push creative boundaries.

I get excited to study somewhat notionally trivial interactions, weird scavenger hunts, the small talk people do to curb awkward situations or stuff that is mundane but understudied. I believe something as simple as "What people carry in their bags (and why?)", the role of "faith" in online transactions, or even the conversations they brew at chai shops - can impact our designs in much broader senses and could package a really emotional experience for the users.
