About Me.
Hi, I’m Abhisha Vaheesan, a Bachelor of Design (Communications) student at Monash University with a passion for visual storytelling. My interests span UX/UI design, branding, and motion graphics, where I love crafting experiences that are both functional and aesthetically compelling.
Creativity has always been second nature to me—whether it was taking art classes, competing in local art competitions, or even obsessively customising my home screen widgets. I find joy in the smallest design details, knowing they shape the way we interact with the world.
Design fascinates me in everyday life. From the intuitive flow of an app that keeps me coming back to the clever packaging that makes me want something I don’t even need—it’s these moments that sparked my curiosity. Eventually, I started asking myself
How can I be a part of it all?.
