I worked with Janardhan on a 6 week project in the Autumn of 2021, which involved thorough research, planning, iterative designing, prototyping, and user testing for a digital product. Despite working in a different time zone than the rest of the team (which often meant Janardhan would work late into the early morning hours), Janardhan consistently delivered top quality material on time. From the outset, he impressed me with his organization, dedication, ideation, and design expertise. Not only is he a competent and experienced designer who delivers high-quality work, but he is also a great team player who is willing to step up to help other teammates and go above and beyond his "fair share" of the responsibilities. He was instrumental in establishing the UI of our app design and building out the interactive prototype in Figma. I learned a lot from working with Janardhan and I hope I get the opportunity to do so again soon!

Janardhan is a great person to work with! He combines a passion for design with great analytical skills, always taking the extra step to understand user needs before coming up with the solution. He played an incremental role in designing the Coral marketplace from scratch. I would highly recommend Janardhan and hope to work with him again in the future.
Abbas Somji
Janardhan was a great addition to the team during our transition from Artos to Coral. His lean start-up mentality helped us achieve key prototypes during our early sprints. Above all else, he is a good spirit for any business and always energised the team. Always refreshing to see someone very enthusiastic and passionate about their work. Good luck Janardhan, you'll be missed!

Janardhan was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is highly ambitious, reliable, and possesses an excellent work ethic. Together, we spent 6-weeks undertaking an Interaction Design project wherein he actively participated in every step in the design process; research, mapping, conceptualising, iterating and rapid prototyping. Despite working remotely from a different country and timezone for the first few initial weeks - it did not compromise the quality of work he delivered, and was always punctual to every meeting. Janardhan was invaluable to our team; he demonstrated exceptional resilience and willingness to go the go-above-and-beyond to meet (and exceed) our project brief. Notably, he made critical decisions in the visual direction of our project. Janardhan’s experience, skill and passion in prototyping and design played a significant role in the success of our project. Remarkably, he helped speed up the process, provide guidance and even happily take upon additional work for others to ensure that the project was high quality. The team greatly valued his expertise in design and software such as Figma. Most importantly, he was a fantastic teammate, and I would love to work with him again. Hands down, Janardhan would make a valuable addition to any team or organisation.✨

Janardhan joined us as design hire #1 and did absolutely amazing! He’s lead the process of building our design principles and design system. He drives a user first mindset. Always making sure to deeply understand customer pains, to then followup with rapid delivery to solve them. No bullshit and hard work. I love working with Janardhan. It’s a pleasure to have someone around that’s smart, creative and persistent!

Janardhan is an excellent designer, mentor, and person to work with. He knows how to break down complex problems and simplify them, and then deliver the right design solution. He also has a way of bringing out the best in his teammates because he wants to see them and the project succeed. Every group he’s designed with during our degree has put forth high-quality work. As a mentor, Janardhan gave me the guidance on how to present my work in such a way that I landed my first role. I can’t recommend him enough for any design team. He’s self-motivated, creative, and has a positive personality that makes him invaluable in any organization.
