About

yours truly 👀

Hi, I’m Ria. Based in Seattle, where quiet trails and grey skies train my observation skills. When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me cafe-hopping or chasing golden-hour light with my camera.


I design at the intersection of people, technology, and emotion, most recently humanizing safety in corporate fleets at Bosch.


Over the summer, I worked on IoT systems, as a Product Designer at Starbucks. I led the 0 to 1 design of an IoT, data-viz dashboard used across 17,000+ stores, translating research into data-driven design features in close collaboration with product & engineering. Designing for real-time operations sharpened my ability to turn complex data into actionable experiences that scale.

design philosophy

For me, design is play.


Being a Product Designer feels like the perfect “impossible triangle”. It connects what I’m good at, what I love, and a career path full of growth and possibility.


My approach to design is shaped deeply by a personal philosophy that echoes Naval Ravikant’s belief in finding work that feels like play. It’s this mindset that keeps me curious, creative & driven every day.

That's all about me (for now!). If you wish to discuss my work, collaborate, or have an interesting story to tell, feel free to reach out.
