About Achal Varma

Senior Design Engineer at Spotify

I’m an interaction designer with a passion for emerging technology currently working on in-home experiences at Spotify in London. At Spotify, I've worked on projects spanning across design tools, growth, and the core mobile experience. Previously, I studied Cognitive Science and cut my teeth as a design technologist at frog Design.

I think that technology is most impactful when it acts as an equalizer, and my end goal is always to leave things better than they were when I found them.

If you're having a hard time finding a suitable time to chat, just drop me a line and we can work something out. Looking forward to hearing from you!
