About Me

Mucho Gusto, I’m Sai Rajesh—a UX Designer with a Mission

I’m a UX designer and researcher based in Maryland, USA, dedicated to crafting digital experiences that are intuitive and impactful. My passion for technology’s potential to simplify lives has fueled my career—from early days tinkering with interfaces to shaping user-centered solutions today.

With a Master’s in Information Systems from UMBC and experience at companies like Accenture and Soaper LLC, I blend research, design, and development to tackle real-world challenges. My work spans banking apps, healthcare tools, and cultural platforms—all driven by a commitment to user needs.

Outside of design, I’m exploring new tools, sketching ideas, or unwinding with podcasts. I’m also learning Spanish on Duolingo—hoping to say more than "Hola" soon! Always eager for the next opportunity to create something meaningful.
