behind the work
Bio
I'm Ronish Sharma — product designer at Parsons School of Design (BFA, Expected 2027, GPA 3.9, Dean's List). I work across the full stack of product creation: mechanical CAD, PCB architecture, embedded firmware, and user-centered interface design.
Multiple Google and university certifications in UX, prototyping, and manufacturing. Whether I'm isolating a wheezing frequency in FFT analysis or designing an information hierarchy for a dashboard, the goal is the same — make complexity invisible.
Previously: Product Design Intern at Circular Economy Manufacturing and Studio34, Head of STEM at IDSA – The New School, CAD Tutor, and co-founder of Scout Search. I'm drawn to projects where precision and creativity are equally valued.
