A grain segregation simulation software was developed by an IITK professor

Mr. Ishan Sharma and its GUI was designed by me in such a way that it’s easy

to use by a novice and an expert too. The challenge was to understand the

underlying codes of software to understand its working then read user’s

behavior while using it and develop information architecture and User task

flows for designing the UI.

4. Hindi Typing Tool (UI/UX Design)

A Hindi typing tool for desktops that does not need the user to have any

knowledge of English and types faster using only mouse and arrow keys and it’s

algorithm is based on user behavior while writing Hindi and it’s UI is based on

their increasing familiarity with mobile phone interface.

5. Seenear (UI/UX Design)

An application launcher that changes the mobile phone’s interface in such a way

that an elderly can easily operate it without getting lost ,as it makes the

interface more intuitive and reduces the number of apps on home screen. This

on one hand reduces user’s chance of making mistakes and on other hand

increases the android phone’s usability for them.

6. Paperbike design (Product design)

A paperbike was to be designed as a part of an activity using only paper rolls

and fevicol on which a person would sit and it would run for two rounds in a
