My Growing Toolkit
Skills I'm actively sharpening through projects and passion.
UI/UX Prototyping
Learning to transform ideas into intuitive flows with Figma. I focus on simplifying complex tasks through iterative wireframing and user feedback.

User Research
Asking “why” before designing, I conduct quick surveys and usability tests to uncover user frustrations and confidently validate proposed solutions.

About
More about me
I'm Ria Vinod, a UI/UX designer and Computer Science student at Symbiosis Institute of Technology, Pune.
My superpower? Turning "why is this so frustrating?" into "aha!" moments through design.
When I’m not coding or in class, you’ll find me:
→ Turning napkin doodles into clickable prototypes
→ Competing in designathons (Ranked Top 1.6% nationally)
→ Designing merch for campus fests (yes, I’ve printed 500+ T-shirts!)
I believe great design lives where empathy meets engineering – and I’m just getting started.
Leadership & Work Experience
I have had the pleasure to work with companies across a variety of industries. I'm always interested in new, exciting and challenging adventures.
