About Me

About Me

About Me

Rohan Khadilkar

I’m a product designer at UIUC who enjoys making digital experiences feel natural, intuitive, and easy to use. I’m most excited by products where the interface fades into the background and people can focus on what actually matters. Outside of design, you’ll usually find me logging Letterboxd reviews or cheering for my favorite sports teams.

I’m especially drawn to the strategic side of design. I’m inspired most by design strategists who think deeply about systems, user behavior, and long-term impact. I enjoy connecting big-picture thinking to the details of an interface, understanding the why behind a problem, and shaping the how through thoughtful design decisions.
