ABOUT ARIKA

Nice to meet you!

My love for design started way back when I was a teenager messing around with my Tumblr blog. It was like a sandbox to me - a place where I was free to experiment, redesign, and play around to show off who I was in new and exciting ways.

In college I studied Graphic Design and Art History, and tried my hand at all kinds of art forms. After I graduated, I ended up working in the nonprofit programs. Though my role was not directly related to design, it was during this time I discovered another profound passion - serving the community. I felt fulfilled addressing user needs, making a difference, but I yearned for a way to merge this with my love for design.

That's when I found UX design, a perfect blend of my passions. It was an 'aha' moment, a revelation that I could serve the community by meeting user needs through intuitive design. Ever since, I've been focusing on creating visual designs that are not only user-friendly but are catalysts for change.

Now, I'm on a mission to design for change; to leverage my expertise in visual design to create experiences that are as meaningful as they are aesthetically pleasing!
