About

🙌🏼 As a User Experience Designer, Ajit Kumar Nayak is a critical thinker with a good design sense, a solid technical background, and an eye for improving things. He is always curious about how things work and why they work this way. 🤔 👀 He is fascinated with human behavior – how people think and act in different situations. 🤷🏻‍♂️ With curiosity comes questions and with those questions come answers through observation, research, and testing. “I question my own ideas and that’s the only way to make progress, always curious, always questioning.” -Don Norman. 👏🏼 ✅ He advocates for the user. To do that, he usually puts himself into another’s shoes – understanding the user's emotions and feelings. ❤️‍🔥 To truly design for the end user, he understands the struggles and pains the user goes through when interacting with a particular system. His job doesn't just go from 9 to 5. 🎯 He lives and breathes it in everything he interacts with. When he buys a movie ticket through a touch screen kiosk, uses the latest Phone, or tries out a new feature for his favorite website, he thinks about ways to improve the experience or connect people to one another. 🪀 🤹🏻‍♂️ He not only has a passion for innovation and technology but also for creating passionate users. He has that passion for looking for ways to make things happen. 🎳
