Mahima Kumari IIT Patna

I'm currently pursuing a BS-MS in Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity at the Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IIT Patna). My interests sit at the intersection of technology, design and intelligent systems.

I enjoy exploring how technology can solve practical problems while also creating interfaces that feel intuitive, useful and visually engaging. My only personal project as of now is TripWise, which I independently developed and deployed, alongside collaborative hackathons including Master's Union Hacknite and Zero Dependency Hackathon.

Based out of Ghaziabad / Delhi NCR, India, my career goal is looking for opportunities to learn, build, collaborate and gain practical experience through internships and technology projects.

✦ FIELD NOTE // 02 · DESIGN PHILOSOPHY & INTERACTION LAB
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

I don't just build interfaces. I think about experiences.

My interest in UI/UX comes from understanding how people interact with digital products — how layout, hierarchy, typography, color and interaction can make an experience clearer and more intuitive.

01 — CLARITY

Make information easy to understand

Information overload kills usability. Good visual hierarchy directs attention immediately to what matters most.

02 — INTERACTION

Meaningful feedback over decoration

Micro-interactions shouldn't just be pretty—they reassure the user that the system received their command.

03 — SIMPLICITY

Reduce friction & cognitive load

Simplicity is removing unnecessary barriers until the user reaches their goal with zero hesitation.
