Hi! My name is Neha and I am a third year at UC Davis studying a double major in Managerial Economics and Design. In the future, I hope to work in UI/UX designer and create user friendly experiences.

As a part of the Davis Community, I have been an active member on campus working in many different student organizations . I am currently part of clubs such as the Davis Consulting Group and CodeLab as a Consultant and a UX Designer.

As a student at UC Davis, I have been on the Deans List for 2 quarters and also have been awarded “Most Human Centered Design” in Design Interactive, a club on campus, when creating an application as a solution in their case competition.

I often fix my own jewelry and clothing when they need to be repaired. With the use of pliers and other materials, I have had some experience working with repairs to ensure I can continue using products I already own.

This project would benefit me because it will help me explore how to solve an issue I am currently facing. By developing a solution myself, I can continue to use some of my favorite products and will also be proud that I was able to fix it myself. I also want to create a guide so I can help others solve the same problem I am facing.

In my spare time, I love to listen to music, sing, cook, bake, and travel. I often enjoy making my own meals and explore different cuisines. I love to try new foods and am always trying new recipes.

My favorite artist is Taylor Swift and I was able to watch her live in the Eras tour, which was 100% one of my top moments of 2023. I also have a passion for photography and often love to capture memories when attending events or even hanging out with my friends. A fun fact about me is that I can understand 5 languages as I grew up in a bilingual household.

Below are photos from my visit to Portugal recently in December. I really enjoyed exploring new spots and learning more about the culture.
