Hey, I’m Tushar! I’m a designer and researcher working at a pretty unique crossroads UX, systems thinking, and socio-technical analysis all at once. My background in Architecture gave me a way of seeing how spaces, systems, and people interact at scale, and my Master’s in Design (UX & Interaction Design) sharpened that into something I can apply to digital and hybrid experiences.
I’ve mapped healthcare systems at Siemens Healthineers, explored participatory and environmental design through NASA Space Apps, and built AI-enabled enterprise platforms at AsynzX and Xyphera Systems. What ties all of it together is a deep curiosity about how interfaces, media, and large systems quietly shape the way we think, behave, and imagine the future. My current project — UtopiaX — sits right at that edge, blending XR, tangible interactions, and art to explore what future imaginaries can look like.
