Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHarikrishnan Gopalakrishnan is an interaction and user-experience designer with 13 years of practice blending UX strategy, tangible and graphical interfaces, and front-end programming (HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript and Java Processing). Based in Copenhagen, he runs a freelance studio after formal training at CIID and an industrial design background from IIT Delhi, enabling a rare cross-disciplinary fluency between product styling, visualization, and interaction systems. He pairs hands-on graphic and form exploration with robust implementation skills—evidenced by substantive contributions to the paper.js vector graphics library where he rewrote geometric boolean operations for accurate path unions and intersections. Comfortable from sketching and styling to shipping code, he particularly excels at turning complex geometry and visualization problems into elegant, usable interfaces. His early career in automotive styling adds a physical-product sensibility that informs his digital interaction work, giving him an edge in projects that bridge hardware and software.
