Hey, there! My name is Latika. I'm a former software engineer and current UX designer. 

While I spent the first part of my career focused on software development for digital products, I found myself eager to join design decision meetings whenever I had the chance. I was far more fascinated by the bigger picture and creating the right products than simply executing what I was given. I realized that my career path was always leading me to UX Design.

I'm thrilled to share that my career change turned out to be the right choice! I thrive when I'm in a position to experience the full user journey lifecycle—I enjoy being a generalist and building my skills across the double diamond. With a foundation in software development, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and design sensibility to my work.

Outside of my career, I have a deep love for expressing creativity in many ways. I usually have a different hobby every week, but the ones that remain consistent in my life are fiber arts, cooking, fragrances, and social dancing.

My UX Design Philosophy is that UX aims to find the answer to the question: Why is life so hard?

Why is it so hard to...

• find somewhere to shop for clothing ethically?

• find events at your favorite coffee shop/third place? 

• handle the web of complexity that is the accounts payable/receivable space?

My mission is to use my skills as a designer to solve these problems and make the world a little less difficult, one product at a time.
