About Me
Brief summary of my experiences, skills and mindset, which hopefully backs me up.
Who I am
👋 Hello, I’m Anamol. I’m a UX Specialist and a Digital Creative.
I combine empirical evidence, in-depth research, and analytical insights while uncovering nuances within and across user touchpoints in the customer journey lifecycle. I research, design, and develop solutions while aiming to automate redundancies to save time and effort and amplify impact.
I also have an MSc in User Experience Engineering from Goldsmiths, University of London. Worked on a handful of interesting projects with multiple team members in various UX sub-domains. I also had an opportunity to volunteer as a Research Assistant for an internal Goldsmiths project.
You can learn a bit more about me below.
I was on the National TV, twice: I appeared on Idea Studio Nepal, a Shark Tank inspired reality TV show. My friend and I applied as a team and got selected as one of 26 ideators from 800+ applicants in Season 1, 2014. I pitched my idea on the audition round and the final presentation. The show wasn’t designed for deal/no-deal type of funding in the earlier seasons but for an opportunity to work at their incubation center.
Client Stories: I worked with a business in Belgium and helped them gain an additional €5000+ in monthly revenue for 3 months straight as of April 2024. Another was with a media business. I dived deep, uncovering underlying challenges and opportunities in their business operation, which led me to identify and implement solutions that optimised operational efficiency by +700%, and helped slash their monthly costs by thousands of $$.
Journey Across Digital Domains: I worked for various clients around the world which helped me understand cross-industry nuances, giving me ample opportunities for experiential learning, which I always attempt to use to be strategic in my solutions for my clients and in my work.
The Goldsmiths Chapter: My MSc programme was full of hands-on research-based learning. I got to connect various dots into the subtleties of Interaction Science, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Human Factors & Ergonomics, along with the vibrations of music, sound, and even UX in animals.
The Escape Key [␛]: Outside work, I surf the ‘wantrepreneurship’ wave on Reels and TikTok, delve into psychology, tech, design and business content. I also lift weights, watch Premier League highlights, and organise my second brain every other week—keeping my inbox, ideas and tasks in check.

Tools I love
How I think
Frameworks can be overrated, outdated, and stagnant; it is Principles that truly matter. Frameworks assist principles while principles can assist as well as challenge both frameworks and principles. I use critical thinking and logical reasoning principles in tandem as both of these are the foundational prerequisites in dissecting any idea, opinion and argument.
Not everyone succeeds all the time and neither do I. We're all humans after all with emotion and spontaneity driving most of our days. But I do try to try my best to use these tools to make this mindset more instinctual, as spontaneity can be refined with experience.
Critical Thinking
Evidence → Divergent → Assumptions
Logical Reasoning
Arguments → Convergent → Conclusion
One last thing…
If you read it through to this point in the scroll-depth, you’re likely a 1-percenter for this webpage.
Only a tiny minority of people scroll all the way to the bottom on any given webpage.
There are many guidelines and research conducted on “About” pages. This post from NNGroup is an interesting one where they observed 70 users and came up with 85 guidelines for About pages.
That’s a lot of guidelines.
But to summarise, it all boils down to whether our audience found what they were looking for or not.
So, did you find what you were looking for?
If not, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
