Turning big ideas into reality

I’m Aashka Patel, a graduate student at NC State University in Raleigh. Starting as a graphic designer in undergrad, my passion for observing interactions—digital and physical—led me to transition into UX design. With a background in psychology and a drive to create empathetic, user-focused solutions, I’m particularly passionate about leveraging AI to solve real-world problems and enhance lives. Personally, I find inspiration in cooking, traveling, and exploring the mountains, which fuel my creativity and fresh perspectives.
