I bring together user insights, business goals, and the technical constraints to make sense of interconnected problems.

ABOUT
Hi, I'm Isha.
I believe that great design bridges the gap between human behavior, aesthetics, and qualitative research. I strive to create solutions that are not only visually appealing but also deeply intuitive and user-centric, ensuring every interaction is meaningful.
I graduated with a M.S in Information, specializing in UX Research and Design, from the University of Michigan. I currently work at Merck as a Project Manager to design better experiences for the Global Oncology department.
During my studies, I honed my skills in accessibility problem-solving, multi-touchpoint experiences, and human-centric thinking through various projects. Now, I am eager to apply my knowledge and creativity to new challenges and opportunities in the professional world.
I love psychological thrillers, crocheting and romantasy novels.
"In every piece of design, I see a canvas for creativity and a blueprint for problem-solving."
