Hi, I'm
Harshvardhan Agarwal
My Story
I'm a graduate from Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore where I did my integrated masters in Computer Science and Engineering.
I started my college during the pandemic, because of lockdown my classes were online. This gave me a lot of time to explore and run experiments. Initially I started to learn coding (web development), then during a hackathon I got to know about design. That hack was the turning point, I started enjoying the process of designing and being able to solve problems using it.
This piqued my curiosity and I started to explore more about design, connected with more people and got my first internship during my first year. Later, I deep dived into intricacies and nuances of various themes and ideologies continue to intrigue me, keeping me wanting more. The very human element of design is what has kept me coming back to it.

My Values
Passion Leads, Everything Follows
I've found myself working relentlessly on design projects, staying up late without effort because of my love for the field. It has become a lifestyle, a core part of who I am. I see design even in everyday life, always gathering knowledge wherever and however possible.
Never Stop Learning
Learning new things brings me joy. I engage in competitions and collaborative projects, dive into blogs, and actively contribute to the field because it values me in equal measure.
Embody Your Humanity
I've been lucky to connect with many people while working on different projects. It has given me a multicolored perspective of what design could look like.
Embrace the Adventure Ahead
For now, Iām hungry for more opportunities and deeper learning. Everything that comes my way, I'm keeping an open mind fueled by curiosity and optimism. Noah Kahan said in his song, that I live by: "Be surprised, stay hungry!" and that is exactly what I intend to do.
