Interaction, Design and a cup of hot
Caffè mocha!
UX/UI, Interaction designer
Holla! I'm Jaison Jacob, and welcome to my new portfolio website! Here I'll be talking about my works, Interests, tastes etc. I'm a Master's student in Interaction design from IIT Bombay, where I was lucky enough to find and work with dedicated, talented young engineers and designers who are sharing the same dreams as I am
Areas of My Interest
UX/UI
I can't design an experience, yet I design conditions that could trigger a good experience. I design User Interfaces and product interfaces.
IXD
I do research, design products and build their prototypes too. Details are important, I make sure that the things I make are intuitive, usable and minimalistic.
WEB
I design the User Interface, do front-end coding of fully-realized applications for web and mobile devices using HTML and CSS, I'm learning Javascript
