👋 Hi, I’m Dheepthi (she/her)

📣 Pronounced: DEEP-thee

📍 From DC Metro Area

🎓 Education: Bachelor’s in Psychology and Human Development from Virginia Tech and Master’s from University of Virginia (Yes… I am aware of the college sports rivalry!)

💼 Currently, I’m an Associate Consultant at Kollabio, a small business IT firm, where I take on multiple roles. On the business development side, I create impactful business strategies to drive growth. On the project delivery side, I conduct usability testing and implement UX enhancements to optimize client outcomes and deliver meaningful product results.

🌟 Unique Experience: From my roles as an elementary school floater teacher, behavior therapist, and child development researcher, I’ve honed strong analytical, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills. My journey took a magical turn when I had the opportunity to work at Disney as a Content Strategy Intern —that’s when I realized my dream of creating meaningful experiences was truly possible!

🎨 I’ve always had an artistic and creative side, and UX design has provided the perfect platform to explore and express it. UX is a unique blend of logic, problem-solving, and artistic design elements, allowing me to create meaningful and visually engaging experiences.

🌍 Hobbies: Traveling ✈️, exercising 🏋️, reading 📚, painting 🎨, listening to podcasts 🎧, and expanding my coffee shop list ☕!
