hello! i'm ria
I’m a UX/Product Designer currently based in Seattle, where I’m pursuing my Master’s in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington.
With industry experience before grad school and a background in interaction design, I’ve designed for both B2B SaaS and B2C domains— prop-tech , health tech, hospitality, media & communication
At the core of it :
My work bridges strategy 🧠 and craft👩🏻💻 - bringing conceptual thinking and visual finesse together to turn ambiguity into usable solutions.
my design ethos ✨
design speed
Having worked at startups, I have optimized my workflows to explore a wide range of options in a short amount of time. I like to be thorough and ensure that all possibilities are seen through
cross-functional fluency
My experience collaborating with product teams, engineers, and researchers helps me bridge the gap between vision and implementation, grounding bold ideas in practical delivery.
design with depth
I combine user-centered thinking with system-level clarity. With a background in both UX research and design, I move fluidly between discovering insights and designing solutions. I lead with curiosity & design with intent - balancing user value and business goals.
adaptable by nature
Every project has its curveballs and I’m here for them. I’m quick to pivot, iterate with clarity, and keep momentum going, even in ambiguity. Remote user testing or last-minute handoffs, I thrive in fast-moving environments.
