I’m Vishakha!

As a kid, I loved working with my hands, doing crafts, building small projects, and fixing things alongside my dad. That habit of making, fixing, and experimenting shaped how I approach design today.

I grew up in Nepal, surrounded by traditional craft, handmade processes, and growing technology. Seeing how people adapt and make sense of systems with limited resources influenced how I think about simplicity, accessibility, and care in design.

I began my formal journey in graphic and visual design, working on branding and visual storytelling, before gradually moving into UX design and research. Over time, I became more interested in how people use design and how small decisions shape everyday experiences.

When I'm not designing, you'll usually find me doing DIY crafts, out on a hike, taking care of my plants, or playing the ukulele.
