Hi, I’m Akanksha Karmakar, a Systems Design Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a strong passion for UI/UX and user research. I focus on understanding user behaviour and needs through methods like interviews, usability testing, and data analysis to inform design decisions. My work involves designing intuitive interfaces and building interactive prototypes grounded in human-centered design principles. I’ve contributed to a range of platforms, from SaaS products, VR features, and digital learning tools, by translating user insights into meaningful and impactful experiences.
