a bit about me

I was born in Bangalore, India, raised in Minnesota, and have had the opportunity to live in Austin, TX for four years and San Francisco, CA for one. Now, I’m excited to return home and put down roots in Minneapolis, MN!

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me cooking, traveling, spending time with loved ones, decorating, creating, or planning something exciting—like my wedding! I recently married my childhood best friend.

Currently, I’m on a six-month world tour/honeymoon, exploring new cultures, and gaining personal insights along the way. I’ll be back in mid-June, eager to dive into a new role.

I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota, and I discovered my true passion in UX Design. I honed my skills at Williams Sonoma and through freelance work with small businesses. Along the way, I founded my own company, Raiyer Events, which specializes in event planning and personalized digital design. Now, my focus is on securing a full-time UX position where I can dedicate my time and energy to making an impact.

As a Product Designer, I strive to blend analytical thinking, empathy, and creativity to craft meaningful products. My goal is to deliver user-centered experiences that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and intuitive.
