UX DESIGNER

Hi, I'm Mehek.
I design and build digital experiences that feel right.

I’ve always been the kind of person who needs both sides of the coin: logic and creativity, structure and spontaneity. Growing up, I was just as happy painting for hours as I was solving puzzles or building things from scratch. For a while, I thought I had to choose one. Turns out, I didn’t. Somewhere between engineering labs and running my own little art startup, I stumbled into design, and something clicked. It was messy at first, full of trial and error (and a lot of Googling), but it felt real.

Over the years, I’ve found joy in the tiny details, the big-picture thinking, and the very human process of figuring out what works and why. Now, fresh out of grad school, I’m still following that same curiosity, chasing ideas, asking questions, and designing things that not only make sense but feel right.
