I’m Manish Kumar, a passionate Product Designer currently pursuing my Master’s in Smart Product Design at IIT Jodhpur. I graduated in Fashion and Lifestyle Accessories Design from NIFT, where I developed a strong foundation in form, aesthetics, and material exploration.
My work focuses on blending craft, technology, and user experience to create products that are not only intelligent but also emotionally engaging. I love exploring how thoughtful design can bridge digital and physical experiences — from smart devices and wearables to modern lifestyle accessories.
With a research-driven and hands-on approach, I strive to design future-ready products that enhance the way people live, work, and connect.
