About Me

Hey, I’m Mihir — a multidisciplinary UX designer with a curious mind, a sharp eye for detail, and a heart full of empathy.


Originally from India and now based in Canada, I design experiences that strike the perfect balance between function and delight. My superpower? Blending research-driven thinking with creative problem-solving to craft digital products that people actually love to use.

My UX journey began during the pandemic when a friend casually introduced me to the field — little did I know, it would flip my career path entirely. Fast forward to today, I’ve led and collaborated on end-to-end product design across startups and student-led ventures for over 2+ years. I thrive in cross-functional collaboration, where design meets business impact.


Let’s make something awesome together ✌️

Beyond Design

I’m a bold thinker, a passionate collaborator, and a lifelong learner who believes in challenging the norm—even if it means making a few mistakes along the way.


Outside of design, you’ll find me experimenting in the kitchen, chasing sunsets, photographing clouds, or geeking out over Transformers and Godzilla. I bring that same energy—playful, curious, and visually driven—into my work, always striving for bold ideas and better experiences.
