Mindful Design is not a choice- It's the Future!

I help to create experiences that balance usability, empathy & sustainability

Hello!

I'm Harshini, currently working as a UX/UI Designer in the B2B platform of Sparkling Mindz, who is passionate about problem-solving, I strive to create designs that leave a meaningful impact on both people and the planet.

My journey began with an engineering degree from Karpagam College of Engineering, Coimbatore, in 2021. Driven by my curiosity for human-centred design, I pursued my Master's at NIFT Bangalore, where I specialized in Humanity-Centered Design, graduating in 2023.

In the summer of 2022, I joined One X Solutions as a Design Intern, where I contributed to curating and designing business proposals for multiple local brands.

For my Graduation Project, I collaborated with SM Apparels as a Sustainability Consultant, leading an initiative to upcycle pre-consumer waste into value-added products—successfully reducing waste by 40%.

In the spring of 2023, I joined Samsung Opera House as a CX Researcher, where our team enhanced customer engagement by 30% through strategic experience design initiatives.

It all started with a thought— Why are we not mindful of the things we use every day?

I often wondered: What if the person who invented plastic had been more mindful of its impact? What if the designers who shaped literally everything in plastic had thought beyond convenience? As humans, we always dream and chase the future but rarely pause to care for it.

As I explored these questions, I realized that design is often mistaken for aesthetics when, in reality, it should be about impact, function, and responsibility. I saw how products shape behaviours, how innovation often overlooks sustainability, and how technology influences not just individuals but entire ecosystems.

With a background in engineering and a deep curiosity for human behaviour, I found my way into UX design—not just as a profession but as a way to solve meaningful problems. My work bridges psychology, research, and design, ensuring that every solution I create is not only user-friendly but also mindful of its long-term consequences. Whether it’s designing accessibility-first experiences, integrating mental health into productivity, or making learning more engaging through child-centricity, my goal is simple: to craft solutions that serve both people and the planet.

Because design isn’t just about what looks good—it’s about what feels right, what works well, and what lasts and is effortless to both the planet and people.
