My dream was to be a Chef !
My love for cooking has been since my childhood. Being in an Indian household has taught me to help while the food was being prepared.
This definetly helped me when I was in a situation to stay alone.
I still want to pursue this dream on the side by learning something in the baking part of cooking!

Dogs over Human, any given time.
I have been fond of dogs from a very young age.
When I was 8, I had literally brought a street dog puppy home as my parents didn’t let me buy one when I asked for it.
My plan now is to get my dog and love him unconditionally. And make sure I am the best dog dad. Period !

But my life had some other plans
During the pandemic, I stumbled into the field of product design. As a self-taught designer,
I successfully secured a first full-time job at a design studio in India.
I made some amazing friends, started learning from them, and worked on amazing products in the field of education, such as ProApp Design. It is a platform for budding designers to learn anything and everything related to the design field through bite-sized content.
I deeply appreciate everyone, as they have had a significant impact on my life and career.
The Big Question: Engineer or Doctor?
As an Indian, it was a difficult choice to make. Eventually, I chose Engineering! or it chose me.
Jokes Aside!!
I loved every second of my time during my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering. I learned how to find solutions to problems with limited resources, how to tackle difficult tasks and make them look easy, and how to effectively utilize everyone’s abilities while working in a team.
** Pictures of my group who helped me through my engineering phase, me exploring my artistic side, and considering myself worthy to be good at the same!!

Greetings from my Creative Space

My name is Dhaval - it is pronounced as “Dha-vaal” and the meaning behind my name is
“the color white” or “purity” in Sanskrit.
I'm guessing you've had a peek at my work, and now you're curious to see if I'm just as dynamic in person, right? Well, you're in for a treat!
I bet my portfolio dazzled you, but there's so much more to me than just pixels and design. Ever wondered about the story behind the scenes? Let me take you on a little journey.
