He is a true champion in this regard.
Shaun Tollerton

UX designer, Google

Harsha is an excellent designer to work with. At Google - we deal with highly unique UX challenges, but he jumped in and owned many of our projects and proposed innovative solutions. His craft is one of a kind, and always a spot-on.
From product design to mentorship, hands-on design - I can recommend him in total confidence.
