Hari Khalsa Simons

Hi there! I'm a freelance user experience designer and photographer.

I've worked as a product manager/interaction designer at Yelp.com, churning out site features, tools and processes designed to scale the site to handle the many millions of people who visit each month. Prior to that I was designing user experiences at Tellme, working on voice and mobile phone products like Tellme by Mobile.

Below you'll find a few professional samples as well as student projects from my time at Carnegie Mellon's Human-Computer Interaction Institute. And a couple throwbacks to my UCSD Computer Science roots.
