Hey, it's me Rikin.

I'm a junior product designer based out of Canada. I've been designing with simplicity, accessibility, and impact in mind for 3 years.

I'm also a 4th year student at the University of Waterloo for Mathematics.

I try to stay curious and learn something new 24/7/365.

Off work, my hobbies include anime and manga, making music, design, and the NBA.

What else sets me apart?

I’m a completely self-taught designer.

I knew design was the profession for me because it sits at the intersection between two of my passions — art, and technology.

I was actually a developer first.

My technical background makes it easy to communicate with development teams, helping create beautiful products.

My interests fuel my passions.

It's easy to get immersed in new topics all the time. I take away as much as I can, but also apply them to every aspect of my life.

I think about things end-to-end.

I think about everything I use in my life like a product. All the little things like presentation, detail, and intention matter to me.
