Engineer-turned-designer. I make complicated tools easier to use, starting with where people actually get stuck.

Helloo! I am Reethika

I studied electronics engineering before I studied design, so a room full of developers feels familiar. It's probably why I keep ending up on technical products: an AI screening tool, a no-code SDK builder.

I'd rather find out why people get stuck than guess. Sometimes that's interviews, sometimes it's funnel data, sometimes it's sitting with QA while they break things.

I've been the only designer on a team and one of several. Now I'm looking for a product team where I can take a problem from research to release.

Outside work it's puzzles and crosswords. Same habit, really: read the clues, try a guess, don't ink it in until it fits.
