Hello! I'm Mithra Achalla.
UI/UX Designer | Product Designer
My journey in design started in 2015 as a Graphic Designer, where I focused mainly on visual design and branding. Over time, I became more curious about how users interact with products, not just how they look. In 2018, during my bachelor's degree in India, I discovered UX design and realized it perfectly combined my interests in design, psychology, research, and technology.
I have 1.5 years of experience in graphic design and 3 years of experience as a UI/UX designer. I naturally lean toward structured problem-solving and prioritize functionality over aesthetics. I follow a minimal, user-centered approach and believe UX is about understanding people through empathy to create meaningful solutions that make their lives easier.
