My Design Philosophy
Good design employs
visual storytelling empowered by empathy.
Hi! I’m Neela, a UX designer with a love for empathy-driven design. I enjoy delving into subjects that have a positive impact on people’s lives. And with over a decade of experience in visual design, I'm able to combine my love for visual storytelling with my passion for inviting empathy into my work. The result is a user-centric solution.
About Me
When I'm not immersed in design and writing, you can find me doing arts and crafts with my kids, seeking inspiration from mother nature, painting and designing stationery, journaling for self-care, and continually evolving my skills to stay at the forefront of UX design.

If you asked me “what is design?” at different points in my design journey, I would have a different answer according to what I was working on at the time. For example…
🌸 During high school: design is making things look good
📖 During college: design is being able to sell a product or idea through storytelling
🖥️ 2011-2015: design is elevating physical products in a digital space
🎯 2016-2020: design is creating great experiences for your users
👩🏽🎨 2020: design is a lifestyle
🗺️ 2021-2023: design encompasses the entire journey from problem to solution
