Hi, I’m Ridhi!

My mom and I in NY for a weekend in the summer!

My mom and I in NY for a weekend in the summer!

I’m an Industrial Design student at University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign. In Summer 2023 I studied in Finland under the Sustainable Design Program! I started out my journey in college as an engineer, but made the switch to design as I realized my passion for creating things fell more in line as a full on designer.

Currently I’m a Notion Campus Leader at UIUC with my co-leaders spreading the software and teaching fellow students about Notion! I’m from the Greater Chicago area but I’m aiming to be in NYC post-grad!

My Design Intention

A little something about me is that I design to create comfort. At first what comes to mind is most likely physically soft objects or maybe colors that have a softer feeling to them. To me though comfort is a feeling from inside, there may be a better word for this but I think that resonated the best with me! The objects and things I design and like don’t feel jagged or don’t make me tense. Comfort to me also means that when I approach the object, it doesn’t make me feel intimidated or scared. I’m all for new ideas and approaches, but I think its important for people to feel welcomed into that products experience. That’s why I am so open to many fields of design since I am designing not with a specific area in mind, but designing to hopefully share this feeling with others!
