Varun Gadh

Designer & Researcher

Thanks for visiting my site! I design products, services, systems, and ideas. My process involves balancing human-centered research and a unique creative process with practical organizational needs.


I'm currently at McMaster-Carr, helping redesign their search and navigation experience.

I also consult pro-bono for non-profits and social ventures - if you're doing a project for good and want to connect, please email me with a description of the project.


Previously, I worked at Honda R&D's Human-Machine Interaction Group in Los Angeles.

In the past, I've worked as a Design Catalyst at Autodesk and as a rapid prototyping and cognitive robotics teaching assistant at Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science.


I graduated in 2018 from Carnegie Mellon University, where I studied Integrative Design, Arts, & Technology, and Mechanical Engineering.


I've also interned at Deeplocal Design Studio, Northrop Grumman Aerospace, Stanford's S3L Lab, & Caltech's Orphan Lab.
