Hi! It's nice to meet you 💌

I am Aadit Litake, or Audit, as my autocorrect like to correct it to. I’m curious, inquisitive and always trying to learn more. I love asking questions, but beyond that, I love being wrong, because I always get to learn and grow from my mistakes.

I am currently studying in the College of Information at the University of Maryland, College Park, and recently graduated from BITS Goa (yes, the beaches are sublime). When I am not designing, I’m either dancing, reading a book or listening to music.

Outside of technical research, I have worked as a Teaching Assistant for Humanities courses in my undergrad, and currently I'm working as a Graduate Student Assistant at the Accessibility and Disability Services in UMD.
