User Experience Designer with 10 years of experience

I'm Rushika Talikote, a passionate User Experience Designer with a decade of experience in crafting delightful digital journeys.

For me, UX design is more than just creating visually appealing interfaces; it's about understanding people, their desires, and their pain points. I believe in designing with heart and mind, advocating for users at every step to ensure seamless interactions and intuitive interfaces. Let's create experiences that leave a lasting impact together!

Potter finding serenity in clay

When I'm not immersed in the digital realm, you'll find me in my pottery studio, where the magic of clay unfolds. Pottery has become my sanctuary, a therapeutic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With each turn of the wheel, I shape the formless into art, embracing imperfections and celebrating uniqueness. Discover the joy of tactile creation and the tranquility it brings to my soul.

Recommendation

 

I really enjoyed working with Rushika during my time at Visa. She is driven, thorough, creative, responsible, and kind. I loved seeing how she helped me (the product person) bring ideas to life, making them better, prettier and more accessible on the way. Something I appreciate especially about Rushika is her focus on cooperation. She is gracious at giving and receiving feedback, both when it comes to the design work and to the processes and organisation of work. Rushika is very aware of what is negotiable (when there are different ways of achieving a goal) and what is not (for instance when the accessibility standards would not be met). She actively seeks user feedback and input. What she creates not only looks good, but also places the user and their experience at the very center.

Rushika is a great design partner for a Product Manager. She has strong processes to gain an understanding of the user persona. She is very efficient in translating these insights into the designs that she brings to the table. She ensures that the discussions remain focused around the users and often embodies the user-first approach towards design. She is strong at problem-solving and has always contributed significantly to the product processes. With her skills, work ethics, and user empathy, I am sure that Rushika will be achieving great things in her career."

Rushika has been a great problem solver. Her designs always captured the empathy for the intended users. Which one can see through her designs. Brainstorming sessions with her were a great learning for me
