about me

Hi, I’m Suviksha, I have a master's in UX Research and Design from the School of Information at University of Michigan

​

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Architecture and pivoted onto a digital canvas as a UX researcher and designer. From crafting physical spaces to digital experiences.

​

Outside of work, I play ultimate frisbee, play around on Photoshop, am in constant awe of lava lakes, and have organized my cabinets for the fifth time this week.
