Hey there!

I'm Riya, a design engineer working across product design, front-end development, XR, and creative technology.

I like turning playful ideas into working prototypes, from XR interfaces and speculative car experiences to music, wellness, and AI-powered tools.

I studied Computer Science & Games at USC with a minor in designing products. Along the way I've created with Honda's Innovation Team, helped run a Snap Spectacles class, built developer tools at IBM and shipped early products at startups 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.
