About me

Hi there! I’m Omkar Khandalkar, a Product Designer and Content Creator from Mumbai, India. I specialize in crafting meaningful digital experiences that not only look great but also solve real user problems. With a foundation in engineering and a passion for human-centered design, I bring together logic and creativity in every product I design.

I thrive in the sweet spot between function and beauty — whether I’m redesigning a complex LMS used by a million+ students, or clicking street photos at golden hour. I'm obsessed with how people interact with technology, and I love optimizing those touchpoints through thoughtful design, usability, and intuitive flow.

When I'm not pushing pixels or running user interviews, you’ll find me with a camera in hand, behind a mic recording a podcast, or editing a vlog that tells a story worth sharing.
