👋 I’m Amlan Mishra. A product designer, curious about how people think, behave, and interact. Designing experiences that just resonate naturally.
Amlan Mishra

Introduction

I'm Amlan, a designer from Puri, Odisha.

I've spent 8 years working across art, content, and product design; with teams at Myntra, Swiggy, Rapido, AJIO, and FreeUp. Right now I'm completing my Master of Design at IIT Delhi, which has mostly involved questioning everything I thought I knew about how people use things.

My work tends to start with a lot of observation, how people actually behave, not how we assume they will. I'm drawn to complex systems where the mess is invisible to the user, and the design's job is to keep it that way.

Outside of design, I make art, cook, ride and notice things probably more than I should.

Researching how behaviour shapes the systems people use, and how design can work with that, rather than against it.
