"I am very pleased that I got to work with Dhruv in his last semester in NYU's Integrated Digital Media MS Program. As a student in my Virtual Reality: The Ultimate Display course, Dhruv was curious, motivated, and an excellent (and entertaining!) presenter. His application of high level critical design methodology to VR user experience development was impressive. I appreciate his understanding of the iterative creative process, and his ambitious approach to working with emerging technologies, like VR, to address pressing environmental issues threatening our present and future. Dhruv was committed to sensitizing people to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and through research, compassion, and a willingness to “dive into” the VR medium, he was very successful. I give my highest recommendation of Dhruv to any team looking to bring him on as a designer. He is not afraid to tackle challenging issues with sound strategy and abundant energy and optimism."
