Design Graduate at CMU

Hello! I'm Narayan,

📐 Design has consumed me. Trained as an architect, I was taught to shape space, but over time, I found myself more drawn to the systems behind design—the unseen structures that govern how we interact with spaces, technology, and each other. The more I explored, the more I realized that my work isn’t just about buildings; it’s about the relationships between people, environments, and the digital layer that connects them.

⚙️ I thrive at the intersection of design, technology, and systems thinking. Whether it's urban environments, digital tools, or interactive experiences, I approach each challenge with a data-driven yet highly intuitive mindset—balancing analysis with creativity. My work is deeply rooted in diagrammatic and visual thinking, allowing me to see patterns, optimize processes, and design for real impact, not just aesthetics.

🚀 I’m a Type-A designer, obsessed with pushing ideas forward. I get immersed in projects, iterating, refining, and questioning every decision until it clicks into place. I see cities as evolving systems, interfaces as experiences, and design as a tool to shape the future.

If you're thinking about urban innovation, interactive spaces, or the future of system design, let's talk. I’d love to connect and explore new possibilities.
