about
My name is Anshuman Dhar, I also go by “the most enthusiastic and curious in the room” (since that's too many words, my friends just call me a nerd 😌)
About 10 years ago, I came across behavioral psychology and that became my gateway drug into design. Everything I’ve ever worked on since, is driven by understanding how people think. Followed by making something for them and observing their response.
This journey led me to Seattle, where I’m currently working remotely at Beyond. A revenue management software for people who host short-term rentals (i.e AirBnBs/VRBOs).
I'm currently designing and solving problems for industries historically underserved by technology. Before that, I worked at Samsung on their AI and Voice UX team, trying to make small everyday actions for millions of people easier.
There’s a lot more I haven’t mentioned here! Hit me up if you'd like to chat more.
