I am not " just a designer "

I am not
"just a designer"

I think deeply and observe life with curiosity. I love understanding how people connect with themselves and the world, it gives me unique insight into communication and experiences all the time.


I embrace my ADHD as a unique part of who I am, turning its superpowers into strengths like crafting a one-of-a-kind cocktail with an unexpected mix of bold flavors that somehow work soo good together. Sure, there are a few quirky twists, but hey, even the best drinks have a kick, right?

Suram Hazarika

Designer & Manager,
Viacom18 Media Pvt. Ltd.

“Sohum is extremely smart, capable and most of all, vocal, a trait to be admired in anyone who claims to be an advocate for users in the murky field of product design. He brings with him bright, innovative ideas and a zeal to do things differently and has been instrumental in crafting delightful interfaces that are both functional as well as disruptive. He has been a pleasure to work with and would make a great addition to any product team that wants to do things differently but do them right.”

Shyam Bandekar

Head of Business,
Screenroot, Synapse

“Sohum joined us as an intern and very quickly became an integral part of the team. He is methodical and can articulate his thoughts well. In his short span here, he worked on a few varied projects - his problem-solving skills and easy-going nature will definitely make him an asset to any team he joins in the future.”

Iris Duani

UX Design Lecturer,
H.I.T., Israel

“I found him very keen to learn, with natural talent and sharp grasping abilities. He puts untiring efforts in his projects until his (and mine) level of satisfaction is achieved. His imaginative and creative abilities are highly appreciable.”
