About
A bit about my background and how I think about design.
My training, the work I've done so far, and how I actually approach a design problem.
Background
I did my B.E. in Information Technology. During college I got interested in UI/UX design, so after graduating I joined a one-year UI/UX Design program at Designerrs Academy to learn the process properly — user research, wireframing, prototyping, all of it. I also did a short internship at Zidio Development in between, which was my first time working on a real product with an actual team.
Education
B.E., Information Technology
Gokaraju Lailavathi Women's Engineering College, Hyderabad — CGPA 8.00
Designers Academy — UI/UX Design Program
Completed a one-year program covering the full design process: user research, wireframing, prototyping, and more.
Experience
UI/UX Design Intern — Zidio Development
Designed wireframes, mid-fidelity screens, and high-fidelity UI for a task management tool, start to finish, in a 1-month timeline. Did competitive analysis of similar task management apps before moving into high-fidelity design. Worked with a 5-person remote team, presenting wireframes and explaining design decisions to keep everyone on the same page.

If someone has to stop and think about what to click next, I've probably done something wrong. That's basically it. I don't like adding things just to make a screen look busier — I'd rather it just work. I also try not to assume I know what users want, I'd rather actually go and ask a few of them first.
