About Me
Hey there! I'm Vanshad Mohan, a User Experience Designer from Fremont, California! It's so nice to meet you! I specialize in crafting memorable user experiences, leveraging my passion for design and research to create engaging and impactful digital interactions. My journey has been fueled by curiosity, exploration, and an innate passion to nurture my innovative side.
While pursuing a bachelor's degree in Graphic Information Technology, with a focus in user experience and front-end development, I worked on numerous client-focused creative projects as a freelance graphic designer. My journey was dedicated to crafting visually stunning graphics infused with profound user insights. My focus was to craft experiences that not only captivate users but also intricately fulfilled the distinctive client needs of each project.
Aside from designing, I enjoy immersing myself in the cinematic experience of movies at theaters, documenting my daily adventures through vlogs, and discovering hidden culinary gems!

Phoenix, Arizona
Born out of my love for culinary discoveries, I created an online brand to showcase chefs around the Phoenix area. As the Instagram grew, I honed my graphic design skills to craft engaging content - interviews, ads, and social media posts - aimed to elevate these chefs and their culinary creations.
During college, I noticed a lack of affordable design services for micro-influencers. I offered my expertise in graphic design, web design, videography, and digital art to provide budget-friendly solutions. Collaborating closely with clients, I ensured their unique needs were met and their concepts were brought to life.
