Harleen Kaur

Hey there! Iโ€™m Harleen ๐Ÿ‘‹


I have 6 years of experience in UX Design โœจ, where Iโ€™ve applied a range of research methodologies ๐Ÿ” and crafted intuitive interfaces ๐ŸŽจ. Iโ€™ve collaborated with agile teams across the globe ๐ŸŒ, helping bring solutions to life in fast-paced, cross-functional environments โšก.


I studied Industrial Design ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ and interned in the field, which gave me a solid foundation in user-centered thinking ๐Ÿง . In 2020, I made a smooth shift into UX design ๐Ÿ’ป , thanks to the shared focus on research, design thinking, and solving real problems for real people ๐Ÿค.

GET TO KNOW ME BETTER

Personal Lifeโ€ฆ

I was born and raised in Muscat, Oman ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฒ, and moved to Delhi, India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ after high school. The shift not only exposed me to a vibrant new culture but also helped me grow both personally and professionally.

Now, years later, life looks a little different but just as exciting! My husband & I now share our home with the fluffiest roommate ever โ€“ our chow chow, Mango! ๐Ÿพ

My Interests

Back in school, I was a student leader and always up for anything beyond the classroom. From debates and elocutions to drama, dance, and art, I loved being on stage just as much as on the field. I dabbled in everything; athletics, karate, hockey, football and even brought home quite a few wins along the way! ๐Ÿ†๐ŸŽญโšฝ๐Ÿฅ‹

I also got the chance to do part-time modeling, hosting, and emceeing during high school and college ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐ŸŽคโœจ. It was a fun and exciting way to step into the world of fashion ๐Ÿ‘—, connect with fellow creatives ๐ŸŽจ, and sharpen my public speaking skills along the way ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐ŸŽฏ.



Currently, I love unwinding with a good book or spending time in my little terrace garden- itโ€™s my green escape ๐ŸŒฟ. My husband and I try to stay consistent with our gym sessions (workout buddies for life ๐Ÿ’ช). On weekends, youโ€™ll usually find me hunting down theatre shows, art exhibitions, or design events around the city- Iโ€™m always up for meeting creative, like-minded people and soaking in some inspiration! ๐ŸŽญโœจ


Hands-On Creativity

Iโ€™ve always found joy in creating with my hands, exploring different materials and mediums along the way. Water colour painting has been a constant favourite, but studying Industrial Design opened up a whole new world โ€“ introducing me to traditional Indian crafts, woodworking, bamboo craft, and sketching. Thereโ€™s something incredibly satisfying about bringing ideas to life through tactile, hands-on making! ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

At my Core

While ๐ŸŽจ creativity fuels my work as a designer, itโ€™s ๐Ÿ’› empathy that truly drives me. During college, I focused on projects that created social impact, including my graduation project ( you can check it out on my Behance! ๐Ÿ‘€โœจ).

Beyond design, Iโ€™m deeply passionate about animal welfare ๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿพ. Growing up, I was always the kid rescuing strays, and that hasnโ€™t changed! For the past three years, Iโ€™ve been preparing one daily meal ๐Ÿฒ for the stray dogs in my neighbourhood, just a small way to show them some love.

I also volunteer bi-weekly at the Sanjay Gandhi Animal Care Centre.
