Passionate about crafting emotionally resonant experiences, he strives to create designs that connect deeply with users while addressing diverse, real-world challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My name is Akhil, and I&#8217;m a design student interested in exploring the emotional impact design can have on users. While mastering the problem-solving of design is certainly important, the true power lies in its ability to connect with people on a deeper level. I&#8217;m particularly drawn to the idea that design transcends functionality and prompts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, it offers the opportunity to weave together imagination and emotional resonance, creating experiences that resonate not only with the user&#8217;s mind but also evoke lasting emotional values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have always been fascinated with the places and how the volumetric space interacts with humans. I have decided to understand all the aspects of the space through formal training in Architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I consider myself a pragmatic designer. My philosophy of design is around empathizing with users about needs but to see all the aspects around a problem the strings of which vary. From culture, interest, habits, needs, wants, aesthetics, usability, manufacturing, and longevity to the core of sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, design is the deeper connection that evokes an emotion within a user, facilitator, or consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A design with the best usability which requires no user manual. And a design with appropriate aesthetics to the user which makes it timeless to that consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good design is when it tries to check the maximum boxes for the target user. And it concludes with not only earlier user testing but the longer use of the product or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nyarchitectureawards.com\/winner-info.php?id=270\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\/interview-with-xinyue-geng-from-the-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/innovationwind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link external\"><i class=\"icon-instagram\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wind-innovation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\"><i class=\"icon-globe-line\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Akhil Mane is a pragmatic design student who integrates empathy, culture, aesthetics, and sustainability into his creative process.
