Ria Vijay Bhupalam

UX Designer

Hi, I'm Ria!

  • Currently pursuing a Masters in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington.

  • Graduated in Feb'24 with a Bachelor of Design majoring in Interaction Design from PES University, India.

I bring experience in solving complex problems in fields like B2B SaaS, B2C, Luxury hospitality, Health Tech, Sustainability, Accessibility, and Service Design.

Outside of design, I spent the last seven years as a dedicated competitive swimmer, committing 40% of my daily routine to rigorous training. The discipline, time management, and resilience I developed from balancing coursework with high-performance athletics have seamlessly carried over into my design practice.

When I’m not swimming laps or working on my next big project, I love drawing mandalas, turning quirky fabric tags into bookmarks, and collecting badges that showcase my love for design humor.

You’ll also find me chasing sunsets—capturing them through my lens and then doodling my creative touch over them.

To me, design is more than a career; it’s a lens through which I view the world—a way to empower users, craft inclusive experiences, and spark meaningful connections. If my story resonates with you, let’s connect and create something extraordinary together!

Let’s create something amazing together!
