Amaan Arakkal

A finicky but friendly multidisciplinary designer, engineer, strategist, and overall nerd. Often claims to be an athlete and a gamer, who considers problem-solving to be a sport and never plays casually.

I’m an engineer-turned-designer with a foundation in computer science, currently expanding my expertise through postgraduate studies in Design. I focus on designing systems, interfaces, and visual narratives that make complex ideas easier to understand, use, and trust. With a strong interest in human behaviour and decision-making, I enjoy working at the intersection of technology and psychology to create experiences that feel intentional rather than ornamental. Driven by curiosity and a tendency to wander across disciplines, I enjoy learning new things, sharpening my skill sets and domain knowledge, and contributing thoughtfully to impactful projects.

that's me and what am I doing?

I'm not sure, but my dream is to have the opportunity to help solve real, interesting and impactful problems. Any title that helps me do so will do? But yeah, I also need to get paid to pay my bills.

When I'm Not Designing

you’ll usually find me in an MMA gym training Muay Thai, out on a run around the block, swimming, bouldering, or deep into an intense game session. If none of those fit the mood, I’m likely catching up on Kurzgesagt or Veritasium videos, or settling in for a blockbuster. More often than not, though, I’m tinkering with something new, from Rubik’s cubes to PC hardware, FPV drones, and emerging tech or research.
