👋 I'm Rijha, a UX designer from Chicago, IL. My mission is to make the digital world a little easier and more enjoyable for everyone. With a diverse background and passion for design and problem-solving, I've found my calling in the field of user experience.

📸 When the sun sets, you'll often find me with a camera in hand, chasing the perfect shot and capturing life's fleeting moments. Photography isn't just a hobby for me; it's a way to pause time, preserve memories, and find beauty in the ordinary. My journey as a photographer has deeply influenced my approach to design, infusing my work with creativity, empathy, and a keen eye for detail. I believe that every frame tells a story, and every interaction should leave a lasting impression.

When I'm not working…

I love to take a step back and unwind with a good book and a soothing cup of matcha. Reading allows me to escape into new worlds and expand my horizons, while sipping on matcha provides a moment of calm and relaxation. It's the perfect balance of stimulation and tranquility, and helps me recharge so I can come back to my work with renewed energy and focus 🍵📚

Fun Facts

I'm a content creator
on TikTok

When I was a freshman in college, I uploaded a video showing students how to get free textbooks… a couple days later the video had reached 11 million people. Now, I dedicate my platform toward helping students organize academics and lifestyle.

I got married last summer!

I was lucky to have tied the knot with my better half and best friend. We spent a lot of winter break acting like chefs to find recipes we could make when we move in together this summer. We're like Bonnie and Clyde, except no crime, just more culinary conquests.

My nose was collapsed for
10 years

Yup, you read that right. At 5 years old, I got punched in the face at an Ikea playplace (you know, those magical rooms where kids run wild and parents just try to survive). After the punch, I couldn't breathe out of one side of my nose for 10 whole years and had no idea the bridge was collapsed until a routine check-up (my love for all things Ikea remains strong).
