My name is Adarsh Chara, an enthusiastic self-learner I know how to move forward without a lot of supervision creating not merely great websites but exceptional web interfaces.

A UX designer has to be able to design and redesign portals from the ground up. This means knowing the traditional ways to utilize HTML and CSS but also knowing when to cut away and implement fresh perspectives. I have a portfolio of web and mobile application designs, 2D and 3D designs, and visual/graphic designs that shows fluency in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Dreamweaver, Autodesk 3DS Max, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Sketch and Invision App. It emphasizes and intimates the ways to create wireframes and cut comps.

I offer a proven ability to conduct creative analysis and design best-fit solutions for multi-faceted campaigns including interactive media, web design, digital photo/video manipulation, and web development. I have assisted clients from all backgrounds and industries to design and implement thoughtful and impactful branding tools to help grow their businesses.
