[About me]

Hi 👋🏼, I’m Ramya — a visionary Product & UX/UI Designer based in Wisconsin.

Design has always been part of how I make sense of the world. With a background in engineering and business, I bring structure to ambiguity — transforming ideas into user-centered, scalable experiences.

My design journey began while volunteering with nonprofits through Taproot Foundation, where I saw firsthand how empathy and design can create meaningful impact. Later, at Nombolo, a SaaS-based rewards startup, I became the sole designer, leading a complete platform rebuild and redesign of its dual-sided app for businesses and users. I took ownership of everything from experience architecture to detailed UI, turning broad, undefined goals into cohesive, functional, and scalable experiences.

Over time, my approach has evolved from simply crafting seamless user flows to designing strategically — balancing business goals, user needs, and long-term growth. I’m detail-oriented, curious, and love prototyping — it’s how I think, test, and bring ideas to life.

When I’m not designing, I’m probably cooking something new or spending time with family. 😄
