Hi I am, a spatial experience designer, holding a Masters in Environmental Design from ArtCenter College of Design, with a desire to touch hearts and change perceptions through my work. A creative and logical mind with a sensitive heart, makes my work humanistic. Balancing the five senses is the basic concept go design to me.
Be it for Amazon's Alexa or for Nestle's Nescafe, my underlying aim is always to intrigue and engulf the user through the spatial experience of the brand. I am driven to design projects that leave a lasting impression on the user and become a cherished memory. My assiduous, detail-oriented, persevering and conscientious nature, pushes me to surmount every challenge that is presented in the design process. I am interested in designing spaces that are multi-sensorial, narrate a story, engage emotionally, are sustainable and reflect the culture of the place.
Take a look at my work on www.yashisikaria.com . Looking forward to getting in touch!
