Available to hire
Hello, I’m Milan Kalita, a recent BSc Product Design graduate from TU Dublin with a passion for product and industrial design. I aim to apply design thinking, manufacturing understanding, and UX/UI sensibilities to create products that are useful, usable, and delightful. I’m excited to contribute to a dynamic team and grow as a product/engineering designer.
During my studies and industry experiences, I led climate sustainability projects, mentored peers, and gained hands-on CAD, prototyping, and stakeholder communication skills. I bring strong collaboration, critical thinking, and a customer-centered approach to design challenges, and I’m eager to apply these skills at your company.
