I'm a visual designer and art director based in Boulder, Colorado. My areas of focus are branding, graphic design, and visual design.
My relationship with design and technology started at an early age, and ever since coding my first website at the age of 12, I have been fascinated by the intersection of art, technology, psychology, and human behavior.
What really motivates me is creating products and experiences that help others in really tangible ways. For the last 15 years, I have helped organizations better communicate with their audiences and reach their goals through a co-creative process that is rooted in empathy and strategy. I'm known for collaborating successfully within teams, for building lasting relationships with clients and stakeholders, and for creating high-quality design solutions across various mediums.
Hari is an outstanding designer in all regards, an equally a wonderful team member and human being. I had the pleasure of working with her for 7 years and the whole time I knew we had one of the best designers out there. Not only is her quality of work top notch, she works across a multitude of mediums at a high level which makes her incredibly versatile serving clients. Also, in the world of designers I think she is unique in that she makes no assumptions about what a project should look like in the end, but instead lets the process with the client guide what needs to be done (versus imposing her artistic preference as some designers do). Hari has tons of integrity, good will, and is a delight to collaborate with. I can't recommend her enough.
As you can tell by a review of her portfolio, Hari is a great designer from a classical graphics sensibility and tools mastery standpoint. Possibly of greater importance however, is the depth of her efficacy at the critical skill at collaboratively working with clients to guide them through the process of distilling their core needs and organizational message into the graphical form that will drive their organization's future successes. She is fantastic at facilitating iterative, collective design discussions among team participants, each one bringing varying degrees of prior experience, viewpoints, and aesthetic sensibilities, which in the end ensures that the final results fully satisfy the organizational needs relative to both the time horizons for which the design products are required as well as the technology platforms and use cases upon which they are meant to be deployed. And, she is a delight to work with. She is punctual, accommodating, generous with her time, abundant skills and insights, and has a great temperament for the collaborative process of her services, which due to its nature, could become mired in unhealthy or non-productive group dynamics if not managed with finesse.
