Yash Raut

MORE THAN

A DESIGNER

Hello there!
I love exploring how AI and human creativity can work together. I build digital experiences that solve real problems - both for now and the future.
I'm at my best when working with others - whether it's designers, developers, or business folks. I enjoy figuring out what users really need and turning that into something that helps businesses grow.
What sets me apart is my ability to adapt and innovate in rapidly evolving tech landscapes.

The origin story of my design journey
Image of a microcontroller and a small screen attached with wires.
Started as an engineer; but I found myself asking, “How would people use this?”
Yash making pani puri; an indian appetizer.
Between coding assignments, I'd experiment with trying new recipes.
Always loved creating something new.

Photography taught me to notice the little things.
Ramen that Yash made from scratch with all the authentic toppings.
Cooking taught me that the best results come from experimenting boldly.

My biggest adventure yet; moved across continents to dive deeper into design at the University of Michigan.
New country; new challenges; same passion.

Found friendship and belonging through food, laughter, and new adventures.
Design school was about more than just design - it was about growing as a person.

Every experience - from perfecting a recipe to capturing the perfect photograph - has shaped how I approach design.
This is just one part of my story.
