Hello, I'm Harsha Asapu.I don't just design screens.I design decisions.
Every product has a moment where the experience quietly falls apart. Not where it looks broken, but where it actually breaks. I start there. Research first, assumptions last. Define the problem clearly, design the solution, ship it, and keep improving based on what real usage reveals. That loop is not a process. It's how I think.
