Harsha

Hi there! I am Harsha Vardhan, an Interaction/Experience designer & author, based in London. Over the last 14 years I have worked within startups, consultancies and established companies across Europe and India.

My work aims to humanise technology and create products that provide meaningful and relevant experiences to users & affects the world in a positive, sustainable manner.

I currently work at Meta in Reality Labs, building novel VR/MR experiences in the Horizon team.

Previously I worked in Google’s Android design team - working with physical+digital interactions on new hardware products. My aim here is to help develop inclusive & truly meaningful digital products.

Before Google I worked at Toyota Connected Europe and at Arrival. At Arrival, I helped build next generation commercial vans & services, alongside an immensely talented team. A founder of ustwo auto I previously lead the practise in ustwo's London studio, looking into complex mobility projects over 6 years.

Parallel to work projects, I look into design research projects, both self driven & in collaboration with students from universities such as University College London and the University of Washington, Seattle. This led to co-writing thought pieces and books such as ‘Humanising autonomy’ - written and released during 2017-18.
