Hi! I’m Riya & I am a UX Designer in NYC!
As a self-driven designer, my focus is to dive deep into the intricate minds of users and continuously evolve their digital experiences to produce a positive, lasting impact.
My journey into UX started in HR. Untraditional, right? You’d be surprised. I fell into human resources when I graduated from Stony Brook University in 2015. My life in HR, and especially at FCB Health, made me realize that my passion was to implement strategic goals while simultaneously helping my end users have a lasting impression from their experience. I did it internally with my employees - why not take it to another level?
While taking a UX Design course with CareerFoundry, I was able to transfer over to the UX department. Now my users are healthcare professionals and consumers suffering from various disease states. It has been such a rewarding start into the UX world.
When I am not working, you can catch me rewatching all the Marvel movies, reading wrestling PPV predictions, endlessly giving hugs and kisses to my nephew, traveling into the unknown and looking up recipes that I probably will never get around to testing!
