A Little About me

I’m a UX researcher with a background in engineering and human-computer interaction. I began my career at Bosch, developing engine control systems, but a deep interest in how people engage with technology led me to user research. Currently, I focus on human factors and usability research, curating strategic, user-centered experiences that make novel technologies more accessible and intuitive.

Testimonials

Dharini led the successful redesign of the College Park City-University Partnership's website, improving accessibility and tripling program participation. She effectively communicated with diverse stakeholders, aligning the redesign with the organization's mission and objectives. Her strong design skills, ability to stay organized, and good people skills made the process smooth. 

Kendra McAbee

Communications Coordinator,

CPCUP

Dharini was the UX designer for our VERA project, delivering wireframes and high-fidelity mockups for all screens and components. She created a robust design system in Figma that ensured brand consistency and facilitated effective communication within our diverse team. Her deep understanding of project goals and valuable research experience helped identify comparable platforms and alternative solutions. Her designs were well-annotated, promoting clear communication with developers and stakeholders. I highly recommend her for any UX-driven project.

Dr John Murray

Director of Software Engineering,

VERA @ University of Central Florida

I have worked with Dharini for couple of years and she's been a go-to person for any challenging task. Dharini is self driven and committed to delivering the task on time with required quality. She has a good eye for detail and brings up the hidden issues (both technical and operational) up front which makes the life easier for management. She is also a good team builder. She would be great asset to any team.
