About
Hello! I'm Riya, and I ask questions :) I’m not just after pixels; I’m a data-driven designer who digs into research, metrics, and real user behavior to make every design decision count. From AI platforms to social impact projects, I’ve helped create products that not only look good but work smart. Right now I'm designing at UIDAI on the Aadhaar app, fresh off finishing my M.Des at IIT Hyderabad. That degree unlearned as much as it taught me; it broke a lot of my old assumptions about what good design even means before it let me rebuild them properly. What's stayed with me is building experiences meant to hold up for billions of people, not just look nice for a few.
