Hey...
a little about me

I'm Syed Azaruddhin, a visual-turned-product designer based in Chennai. My passion lies in crafting seamless user experiences that resonate with diverse audiences. I’ve developed unique experiences, shaping my ability to decode the emotions and stories of people from various backgrounds. With a Master's in Visual Communication from Loyola College, Chennai, I embarked on my career journey in visual design, honing my skills at creative agencies. While I loved spinning tales for brands, I couldn't shake the urge to whip up solutions that tackle real human needs.

Fast forward to today, and you'll find me diving deep into the world of consumer experience. I'm on a mission to sprinkle some design magic that not only wows users but also drives business success.
