Harsh is a lapsed Industrial Designer. In his past life, he spent a lot of time designing products & services – both physical and digital.

A bunch of these projects are from his time at MIT Institute of Design or as an independent consultant – and are fairly dated. They’ll always be live on this website as part of his archival practice and give you a glimpse of where he’s come from.
