Hey there!
I'm Riya, a design engineer and recent grad of USC, where I studied Computer Science & Interactive Media.
I like turning playful ideas into working prototypes, from XR interfaces and speculative car experiences to music, wellness, and AI-powered tools. My work usually lives somewhere between product design, front-end engineering, and worldbuilding.
I've created with Honda, helped run a Snap Spectacles class, and dabbled in a few early stage startups at Feels Music Messaging and Rosebud AI.
In my free time you'll find me hiking and skiing, or exploring a new funky art museum (as a true Hudson Valley NY native would).
I'm currently inspired by Javier Senosiain's architecture, forgotten girly virtual worlds from the Flash era, and coding in light mode.
