Vedant Pankaj Gugale

I’m a product designer fueled by curiosity and a love for bringing ideas to life. My journey began with a simple passion for sketching, a way of expressing ideas beyond words, sparked by a fascination with space, science, and technology. Studying at the National Institute of Design, I discovered the power of design to connect people and ideas, diving into every opportunity to explore and grow. At Baatein NID, I found my stride as a leader, organizing conversations with designers from around the world, which deepened my perspective on design’s impact. Seeking new horizons, I pursued further studies at Hochschule Pforzheim in Germany, where I focused on building products that tell stories and shape experiences. Visiting Milan Design Week opened my eyes to immersive brand-driven experiences that linger beyond the design itself. In my six months abroad, I embraced the "Fail Fast" principle, which taught me the value of taking initiative and learning through action. Beyond my design practice, I find joy in analog photography, which brings a refreshing sense of connection and intentionality in our digital world. I believe there’s immense potential in creating analogue experiences that bring people together. With entrepreneurship as my long-term goal, I’m committed to creating thoughtful, impactful experiences that bridge innovation with timeless values.
