Hi again, I'm Madhu[Ma-dhoo]

I’m a second-year Master's student in Human-Computer Interaction at Indiana University Bloomington. I started as a software engineer, so I speak both “designer” and “developer” languages making me a great translator between teams!

I’m all about startups and wearing many hats, experimenting with different facets of design while bringing my developer edge to the table.

👩‍💻 Career Adventures

  • Designer meets Developer: I’m a digital designer at Indiana Daily Student, creating cool buildouts.

  • Coding Foundations: At Accenture, I built interactive websites and data visualizations with charts of all kinds.

  • Freelance Hustle: Spent two years designing invites, posters, and storyboards.

Passion &

Research

From exploring human-AI interactions to designing robots, I’m curious about design and tech.


  • Presenting at iConference 2025: Researching to address the risks of human over-reliance on AI in recommender systems

  • Researching how gender stereotypes shape robot design and our relationship with them
