I'm Arti Gnanasekar, a student at UC Santa Cruz studying Computer Science: Game Design and Cognitive Science: AI/HCI.


As a kid, I was always tinkering, with random lego pieces scattered around the house, sketching characters and doodles, or choreographing dance routines with friends. I've always been drawn to the joy of building things that connect people, whether through stories, play, or shared experiences.


That same joy fuels my passion for design today. After discovering UI/UX and Product Design in college, I see design as a bridge between imagination and interaction. My work blends UX thinking with storytelling, system thinking, and a love for all things playful, aiming to create experiences that are intuitive, accessible, and spark delight.

I spy with my little eye…. a smiski, an etch-a-sketch, a nintendo switch joycon, a waterbottle, a pickle, a cat claw clip, a lego crab, a cute doll, a gold earring, and a lip gloss.

Click on the objects to discover the little things that make me, me!
