Beyond the Pixel
Who Am I?
I’m Rajinipriya, a computer science graduate who taught myself UX design. My focus is empathy‑driven design and creating systems that reduce anxiety, support well‑being, and make complex experiences feel simple. I design with logic, emotion, and clarity, aiming to solve problems that are often overlooked.
My Philosophy
UX is not about decoration, it’s about engineering experiences that make people feel safe, supported, and understood. My projects focus on overlooked problems, from anxiety to insomnia, because I believe design should serve human needs that often go unnoticed.
The tea on how i got here ☕
no bootcamp. no mentor. no industry connections. just a girl who heard "UX design" once and couldn't stop thinking about it.
THE SPARK - FINAL YEAR, 2025
Heard "UX design" for the first time
somewhere in my final CS semester, someone mentioned UX design and i genuinely could not let it go. started watching videos at 2am, reading case studies i barely understood, and thinking wait, you can design for how people feel?
THE GRIND - EARLY, 2025
IBM + Accenture Cerifications. Figma from scratch.
no class. no teacher. just me, a low-RAM laptop, and YouTube tutorials. learned Figma by breaking things. got IBM UX and Accenture UX certified. started to understand the difference between "it looks good" and "it works for someone."
THE BUILDING - MID, 2025
four projects. four quiet problems nobody else was designing for.
built BookNest for people whose anxiety makes reading impossible. FluxAir for first-time flyers who freeze the moment they land. Hold & Heal for caregivers nobody checks on. FluxOps for the crew behind every flight you take. every project came from empathy, not a brief.
THE REALITY CHECK - LATE, 2025
rejections. rewrites. and figuring out what i actually missed.
the applications went out and the rejections came back. instead of spiraling, i pulled apart every case study and rewrote the thinking behind them. learned that good design isn't enough ,you have to show the decisions, not just the screens.
RIGHT NOW - 2026
still building. still thinking. still here.
five months into the job search. no mentor, no referrals, no shortcuts. but a portfolio that actually sounds like me, case studies that explain the thinking, and a design philosophy i can defend in any room: design for the quiet problems.
If you've read this far then you already know I'm not the designer who gives up. I'm the one who stays up figuring it out.
Outside Design
When I’m not knee-deep in UX flows or obsessing over pixels, I’m probably overanalyzing drama plot twists like it’s my side job, collecting fictional heartbreaks, and calling it “character research.” Honestly, every designer needs a wild imagination and a little chaos. I’m vibing to music, discovering my next comfort food, or fussing over my plants like they’re my emotional support children. Creativity comes from everywhere even snacks, songs, and soil.
