Hey, I'm Riddhima.

I blend research and storytelling to create meaningful user experiences, solve real problems, and drive social good.

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO ↓

I just got a new camera and am obsessed with it, so naturally, I had to include it here.
Currently studying Information Sciences at UIUC, building my background with a focus on human-computer interaction and user experience design.
I've always loved to write, but lately, my phone has been taking up more of my attention — join me on my quest to take back my attention span via my blog!
