Hardik's career has been a bit… scrambled.
He'd been living two lives: One was logical, where he pursued a cs major and software Engineering. The second was creative, which he found through design grad school.
For the past 6 years, he's been a full-stack product designer.
His ideal team has mutual respect, radical honesty, fun rituals, and a bit of daydreaming.
