Hello! I'm Ruchitha GK, a data-driven Designer with a Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Indiana University
My journey began as a software developer after earning my undergraduate degree in computer science engineering. This technical foundation allows me to communicate effectively with developers, bridging the gap between design and development seamlessly.
My consistent advocacy for user-centric design changes caught my manager's attention, prompting a recommendation to explore the world of UX/UI design.
Currently, I am focused on implementing WCAG Level AA guidelines to ensure web accessibility for all users. My design process is rooted in comprehensive user research, iterative testing, and continuous refinement
In my free time I teach swim to and work with various organizations to reduce drown rates in the US.
My Design Philosophy
Ally to the users : I act as the voice of a user by asking the right Research Questions to create a user Persona and advocate for user needs.
Balancing business goals : Most business have a vision and constraints that reveal through stake holder feedback. I create a Design that aligns with the Brand Identity
Technical Feasibility: As an Ex- developer, I understand the need to design features and flows that can be implemented seamlessly.
