About Me

Hello! I am Vedika.

I’m driven by design research that unearths compelling insights, sparking innovative solutions for unforgettable user experiences. As a lifelong creative, my journey began with classical dance, shifted to interior design, and eventually led me to the world of human-centric design research. Through fine art education, I gained empathy and a deep understanding of how creativity impacts society. This blend of experiences fuels my passion for creating meaningful solutions.
