Ankur Kela

Bio

Hello! My name is Ankur (pronounced “uhn-kuur”). I grew up in India and moved to California for high school and beyond. I fell in love with human-centered design during my undergrad years and continue to explore how thoughtful and inclusive design can shape transparent experiences. After working in strategic consulting for a few years, I am excited to take the next step in my journey and develop my toolkit as a designer in the MDes program. In my personal life, I am developing a practice of mindfulness, often go surf, ski, and itch to be outdoors, and dance with a bollywood crew in San Francisco.
