I’m Rucha Patil, a Senior Lead Experience Designer with 4+ years of crafting accessible, intuitive, and aesthetically sharp digital products.

 

My work spans UI/UX design, accessibility auditing, and inclusive design, ensuring products are not only beautiful but also usable for everyone. I also bring a strategic edge beyond product: driving brand narratives and leading social media campaigns that align with the product’s voice and audience.

 

Whether it's shaping a polished interface or building a bold brand moment, I design with purpose: inclusive, intentional, and always human-centered.

In addition to the project, she also assisted in the creation of avatars for the chatbot that already exists.
