Hello! 👋

I’m Ashka, a junior at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, studying information sciences with a focus on HCI/UX. When it comes to designing, my goal is to take ideas and turn them into innovative and socially responsible solutions that tackle real-world problems. I strive to constantly improve and build upon original concepts, pushing the limits of creativity to approach challenges.

Growing up in the Bay Area, with its vibrant tech culture, I found myself immersed in a setting where innovation and design intersected. It was in this environment that I became captivated by the idea of harmonizing my love for creativity with the boundless possibilities of technology.

While I have much to learn from the design world, I approach this journey with a sense of excitement and determination. I am eager to embrace new challenges, collaborate with others, and make a positive impact through purposeful design. With every step I take, I am reminded of the incredible potential that lies within design to shape the way we interact with the world around us.

When I’m not designing…

you can catch me capturing moments through the lens of my camera! Photography serves as another creative outlet, allowing me to explore the world through a unique perspective, seeking beauty in the simplest of details.
