About me

Kalyan m

I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Interaction Design at CSU East Bay, where I’m deepening my understanding of user behavior, systems thinking, and creative technology.

I’m passionate about solving problems through thoughtful, human-centered design transforming complexity into intuitive digital experiences. Beyond design, I enjoy photography, sketching, and watching and listening to podcasts that expand my perspective.

what I can do for you

I design digital products that make complex problems simple and intuitive for people. I focus on clarity, usability, and creating experiences that actually work in the real world.

1. DISCOVER THE REAL PROBLEM

I start with observation, user conversations, and lived context

I look for behavior patterns, not just surface-level requests

I define the real gap behind the problem

2. SYNTHESIZE INTO CLEAR DIRECTION

I turn research into insights, personas, and user journeys

I translate messy information into focused product decisions

I define design goals that guide the experience

3. DESIGN, TEST & ITERATE

I create flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity interfaces

I design for usability, hierarchy, edge cases, and interaction states

I refine through feedback, testing, and visual polish

4. BUILD WITH MODERN TOOLS

I use AI tools like Cursor to move faster from design to prototype

I translate designs into SwiftUI/Xcode prototypes when needed

I bridge the gap between static mockups and working product experiences
