hi, i'm aashika!

why i design

I enjoy bringing emerging tech into everyday products, whether that's 0→1 or reinventing tools people already rely on. I design as an act of care.

off the clock

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, recipe writing, and teaching myself how to become a creative technologist.

Teaching myself to get as comfortable on code editors as I am on Figma. (In video: my Letterboxd watchlist orbiting until it picks my next movie.)
