I’m Aswin Baskaran, an Experience Designer with over five years of experience in visual and UX design. My work spans multiple industries, and I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with product managers, designers, engineers, and other cross-functional teams to create impactful design solutions. My focus is on crafting user-centric experiences that prioritize usability and accessibility.
​
Originally from Madurai, Tamilnadu, India and now based in New Zealand, I bring a multicultural perspective to my work. I’m passionate about helping others and am dedicated to mentorship, guiding aspiring designers through Mission Ready and helping many land their dream roles in UX. I believe in the power of open communication and empathy to uncover insights that address real user needs.
​
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Creative Technologies from Media Design School in Auckland and additional qualifications in UX/UI design and product innovation. Currently, I’m expanding my skills in AI and machine learning, with plans to create innovative tools; like a food-tracking app that uses image recognition to log nutrition.
​
Outside of design, I’m passionate about fitness, watching space documentaries, and exploring new technology. I’ve also worked on web design and development projects for local businesses, where I focus on creating seamless digital experiences that inform and engage users.
