Hi again, I'm Mahita ~

Before design, I worked in healthcare, where I learned that good experiences start with listening. Every patient had a different story, and earning their trust meant understanding what mattered to them first. That experience sparked my interest in design and shaped how I approach my work today. Whether I'm designing for clinicians, students, researchers, or people navigating everyday challenges, I believe the best products begin with empathy and a deep understanding of the people they're built for.

Recently, I've collaborated on healthcare innovation projects with Johnson & Johnson, LivaNova, and the USC Keck School of Medicine, redesigned digital experiences for organizations like Rare Genomics and Angeles University, and built self-initiated products like Ripple—a habit-building tool I researched, designed, branded, and shipped to help people with executive dysfunction.

Outside of work, I'm usually making something. I run a small business creating fan-made accessories, where I get to meet customers face-to-face at markets, test ideas in the real world, and remember that the best products often begin with a conversation. When I'm not designing, you'll probably find me painting, curating oddly specific playlists, or writing little essays that mostly stay in my Notes app.

I'm always excited to meet people building thoughtful products, solving meaningful problems, or exploring new ideas. If that sounds like you, I'd love to connect.
