Hello,
I am Aradhana!
A User Experience designer based in Southern California.
Welcome
to My Story
A UX designer with a foundation in graphic design, I offer a distinctive viewpoint merging aesthetic flair with a strong grasp of visual communication. This fusion empowers me to create the user interfaces that excel both visually and functionally, enriching the overall user experience. I hold a certificate in UX/UI Bootcamp from Columbia Engineering and degree in Graphic Design from Parsons The New School for Design. My creative journey as a graphic desinger has been a combination of creativity, challenges, and countless moments of satisfaction. From the excitement of meeting tight deadlines to the joy of seeing my designs come to life, every step of the way has been an adventure.
Understanding People's Needs:
Being a designer I've always been curious about why people do what they do. Now, I want to dive deeper and figure out how to design things that people actually want to use. It's like trying to solve a big puzzle, but with a purpose.
Empathy, Parenthood and UX/UI:
They say parenthood changes you, and boy, were they right! Raising two tiny humans has taught me more about empathy than any design school ever could. Just like I've learned to anticipate my kids' needs, I'm eager to apply that same empathy to anticipate the needs of users and create experiences that feel like a warm hug in a digital world.
Why the Switch from
Graphic Design to UX/UI?
From Pretty Pictures to Helpful Designs: As my career progressed, I craved a deeper connection with my audience and was intrigued by the idea of designing interfaces that were not just visually appealing but also intuitive and user-friendly. Transitioning to UX design allows me to serve my users better by creating designs that genuinely impact their lives.
Beyond Design:
My Creative Side
When I'm not designing, you'll find me exploring my other creative passions. From the sensory delights of baking to capturing moments with my camera, I'm always looking for ways to express myself. Whether it's traveling to new places, creating intricate mehndi designs, writing poetry, or simply appreciating the beauty in everyday life, I'm all about living creatively. So, let's team up and create some awesome stuff together!
