I mentored Ria on the Starbucks internal dashboard project, where she led the end-to-end UX process — from defining the research and design plan to creating the PRD and translating requirements into clear & actionable design solutions. She delivered polished, high-fidelity prototypes and ensured a smooth handoff across teams. Ria combines structured thinking with a strong sense of design detail. She is a valuable contributor to any product team.
