UX/UI Designer Specializing in User Research and Visual Design
Hey there, I’m Nithya. I’m a UX/UI Designer in the Bay Area, California. I’ve always enjoyed creating fun and memorable experiences and making things visually appealing, even before I discovered UX Design. Whether in real-life situations such as organizing family get-togethers or in my professional experience as a software tester where I developed test cases to ensure that software met the requirements, my approach has always been driven by empathy and understanding user needs. This passion inspired me to pursue a career in UX Design. I recently completed the UX Design program and the UI for UX Designers program at CareerFoundry. My key skills include User Research, User Journeys, User Flows, Wireframes, Prototyping, Visual Design, Interaction, Responsive Design, User Testing, and Figma. In addition to my technical skills, my passion for art fuels my creative thinking, whether painting, making jewelry, or designing user interfaces. With this blend of skills and interests, my goal is to create solutions that are not only functional but aesthetically pleasing and engaging. I’m currently seeking opportunities in UX/UI Design that align with these goals. To learn more about my work, please visit my portfolio - https://sites.google.com/view/nithyaraghunath
