Mithun Kumar — Head of Design

Hello! I'm Mithun Kumar, a Product Design Manager at Pazcare, based in Bengaluru, India. My passion for design and problem-solving began during my enriching years at NIFT Kolkata, where I completed my Bachelor of Design degree. Since then, I have gained valuable experience and honed my skills through various roles in the industry. As a graphic designer at the outset of my career back in 2017, I always had a passion for creating visually appealing designs that communicate a message effectively. However, I began to realize that design is not just about making things look good, but also about solving problems and meeting user needs. This led me to explore UX design, which combines my love for design with my desire to create user-centered solutions. Through self-learning and industry experience, I discovered the power of user research, testing, and iteration in creating effective and intuitive designs. Seeing the positive impact that my designs have on users and businesses further motivated me to pursue a career in UX design. I believe that UX design is a constantly evolving field that challenges me to think creatively, strategically, and empathetically. I am passionate about continuing to learn and grow as a person and am excited to contribute my skills and experience to creating innovative and impactful user experiences. Outside of work, I'm drawn to beautiful environments like hill stations and ice islands, and I particularly enjoy exploring cafés with great ambiance. Offer me a cup of black coffee, and you'll have my attention and admiration in an instant :P Let's connect and explore the boundless possibilities of creating exceptional user experiences together. Thank you for visiting my profile!
