About

I'm a UX/UI designer with a computer science background, working across enterprise retail, higher education, accessibility, and immersive design.

My work tends to start with a question nobody has asked yet. At CUNY I redesigned a storytelling platform used across 25 colleges, then noticed the editors were writing image descriptions by hand — so I designed and built a tool that does it for them, and open-sourced it for every college in the system.

I research, design, and build. Being able to ship the thing myself means I can test an idea rather than argue for it.

Recommendations

  • “Working with Ankita is guaranteed to be a very positive and uplifting experience. She is a consummate professional who remains undaunted by difficult challenges, persevering until she finds the right solution. In my time working with her, I’ve seen her eagerly step beyond her excellent UX/UI design work, quickly and enthusiastically picking up new skills to accomplish novel tasks. With her strong educational foundation in both coding and design, she commands the AI tools of today, rather than being driven by them. More importantly, she possesses the maturity and emotional intelligence to not only collaborate seamlessly with a team, but to inspire everyone around her to up their game she certainly inspired me.”
