About me

Drawn to the details that make or break a product experience. I am building an instinct for finding friction before it becomes a problem. I'm a designer, community builder, mentor, content creator, and maroon belt in karate.

Working with Dakshita has been an absolute pleasure! She has amazed me with her maturity, initiative, and exceptional problem-solving skills that go far beyond her years. Her creativity, willingness to tackle challenges, and dedication to improving her craft will undoubtedly make her an asset to any team lucky enough to have her. If you’re looking for a rising star in product design, she is the one to watch! :-)

I had the pleasure of working with Dakshita, an incredibly talented product designer. She consistently delivered effective and engaging UX designs at an impressive speed, driving customer engagement and satisfaction. Dakshita is not only highly skilled but also a fantastic collaborator—clear, communicative, and easy to work with. Any team would be lucky to have her on board!

Dakshita has been an outstanding intern at Rakuten Viki. Her dedication to Viki hackathon, design workshop facilitation has been invaluable. She quickly mastered our design system, making her a great asset to the team. Her openness, eagerness to grow, and swift action on feedback have made her a pleasure to work with.
