open to internships! ✦

hey, i make loud
design that's still usable.

I'm Riya — a graphic + product design student who loves color way more than a design system spreadsheet does. I make posters, apps, and the occasional chaotic zine.

a bit about me ↓
how i work

I like design that doesn't take itself too seriously. Most of my favorite projects started as a dumb idea I sketched in the margin of a lecture notebook.

I care about color, type, and making sure the thing actually works — not just looks good in a mockup. I'm currently teaching myself front-end dev so I can build the stuff I design instead of just handing off a Figma file.

When I'm not designing I'm probably thrifting for old magazines to rip up for collage references.
