AboutMe

Hello, I'm Anannya from Kerala ☺ I've been interested in arts since I was little and took up visual arts to understand the fundamentals. This experience only grew my interest to help the people around me with the things I love doing. Why not make everything around us express us a little better? :)

✦ Problem

Government services in Tier-2 and Tier-3 Indian cities remain inaccessible — complicated portals, English-only interfaces, and zero consideration for low-literacy users leave millions underserved.

✿ Outcome

A vernacular-first accessibility app supporting 6 Indian languages. Ethnographic research with 40+ users shaped journey maps and usability patterns that actually work for real people.

✦ Problem

Renting in Indian metros is a trust crisis — tenants can't verify listings, landlords dread onboarding, and existing platforms have a 52% drop-off during listing creation.

✿ Outcome

Redesigned the tenant-landlord journey with trust-building verification flows and a virtual tour experience. Listing creation drop-off reduced by 52% in prototype testing.

✦ Problem

Indian artisan marketplaces look generic — traditional craftsmanship gets lost in templates that prioritise conversion over culture, with inconsistent UI and no cohesive brand voice.

✿ Outcome

✦ Problem

Most design portfolios show one slice of the process. This self-initiated project asked: what happens when you design everything — logo, colour system, interface, and physical packaging?

✿ Outcome

A complete brand universe built from scratch — identity, UI/UX, packaging, and mockups. The full spectrum of design thinking applied to a single cohesive concept.
