Hi, I'm Heral Kumar

Math major by degree, designer at heart. I love creating clean, intuitive experiences that make users think, "This makes so much sense!”

I'm all about smart UX, sleek interfaces, and the little details that make a big difference. Also, I have a slight obsession with cheesecake and beautifully designed websites.

Let's build something users will love.✨
