Hi, my name is
Inika Shetty
(Pronounced In-i-ka; just sound it out. Don't overthink it)
I'm a Design Researcher & Service Designer based in sunny San Diego who loves turning complicated, messy problems into clear, "aha!" moments. Think of me as a professional puzzle-solver who gets genuinely excited about making complex systems actually make sense for the humans who use them.
I’m currently seeking new opportunities as a Design Researcher, UX Researcher & Service Designer
