I’m Uthi - short for Utharai! I graduated from Global Business and Digital Arts at the University of Waterloo. I’ve been at IBM as a User Experience Designer for almost 4 years and I’ve had the chance to work on two different products: Watson Assistant and Cognos Analytics. My projects on this site are a reflection of some of my most favourite work, especially because of its challenges and how much it benefited users.
Aside from work, I love dogs and I have a puppy named Nellie, who is tiny but has a big personality. I also love to travel, play the veena, read, eat and mostly lounge around.
