Ahoy! I'm Mehika...
Ahoy, I'm Mehika—your friendly design whisperer and pixel sorcerer. Fueled by cosmic curiosity and endless coffee, I infuse projects with whimsy and innovation. I relate most to Ember from Elemental, as her passionate and dynamic nature mirrors my own fiery spirit, and, like her, I strive to infuse every endeavor with a spark of creativity and a burning determination to illuminate the path forward. 🔥✨
Join me on this voyage of pixels and passion; let's create extraordinary digital tales!
What I do in my free time? I'm glad you asked!
I love to sketch and paint in my free time. In COVID times, I took upon monochromatic personalized portrait painting as freelance hobby work which was much appreciated by the audience.
My Story
I'm an Experience Product Designer and Researcher, currently pursuing my MS in Information Experience Design at Pratt Institute, New York City.
Through my undergraduate in architecture (portfolio here), I realized my design is driven by two factors: accessibility and functionality. Born with retinal impairment in my left eye, I am familiar with the accessibility issue among differently-abled individuals. With only a partial vision, I recognize the challenges of next-generation interface technology. As someone who has been in direct contact with vision impairments for the past twenty-five years, I am familiar with the target audience for this area of study and bring along a perspective that is very different from others.
LET'S MAKE BEAUTIFUL THINGS TOGETHER!

"Mehika is a natural leader with an instinct for excellence, an outstanding work ethic, and a drive to innovate. As a student in my class, she was inquisitive, diligent, personable, and driven. Any organization would be lucky to have her on their team!"
Suzanne Lunny, UX Manager at Staples
Mehika's approach showed sound judgement based on the available data and information we had to share. Her design was creative, and she clearly and confidently articulated her design rationale to various members of the team. I appreciated her initiative in making suggestions to improve other aspects of the app as well.
I truly enjoyed having Mehika as part of the team and would happily welcome her back if the interest and opportunity should align!
Warren Croce, UX Professional at Staples
"Mehika is a conscientious and thoughtful designer, and most importantly a good person. I only learned at the end of her internship that she probably knows more about accessibility than anyone on our UX team team, save for maybe our Director.”
Hasan Hachem, Professor at Pratt Institute
"Mehika collaborated with the client, ensuring the project met the projects organizational and product goals. This level of engagement and understanding is a testament to her strong communication skills and client-focused mindset. Mehika is ambitious and demonstrates the potential to be a standout contributor in any team or project.”
