About Me

Who I Am Shapes What I Design.

I’m Anoushka, a product designer and UX architect based in Pune, studying User Experience Design at MIT ADT University’s Institute of Design. Jack of all trades? Absolutely.

I move between research, AI, motion, systems, and brand. Exploring widely helps me connect ideas; designing intentionally turns those connections into something useful.

My Recent Experiences

Accenture
User Experience Architect Intern

At Accenture, I designed Glow, an agentic AI beauty-shopping companion, working end to end across research, conversational flows, wireframing, prototyping, brand, and design systems.

The core challenge was making an AI-led experience feel human and reducing beauty-shopping complexity into a focused four-tap journey.

Emrys Craft
Founder & Designer

At Emrys Craft, I design and handmake fantasy core jewellery from metal and wire, leading the brand identity, collections, and exhibition sales.

Each piece is shaped by hand, bending wire and metal into armour cuffs, charms, and necklaces that feel like they belong to another world.

Harshdeep Foundation
Design & Social Media Intern

At Harshdeep Foundation, I created branding campaigns, social media design, and outreach material that helped an NGO communicate its work with greater clarity and consistency.

I translated program information into accessible visual stories across campaign formats while maintaining one recognizable identity.

MIT ADT University
B.Des User Experience Design

At MIT ADT University’s Institute of Design, I study user experience through research, interaction design, systems thinking, cognitive ergonomics, and collaborative studio practice.

Academic work lets me test methods across human–AI interaction, behavioral research, sustainability, information design, and service experiences.

Side Quest

Emrys Craft

Handmade jewellery from metal and wire, straight out of a fantasy world.

As founder and designer, I own it end-to-end: designing each piece, shaping it by hand, building the brand identity, and selling at exhibitions.

The chaos: unlimited ideas and experimentation. The method: every twist of wire has purpose.

My writing, things I recommend, and books that keep changing how I see design.
