Designer, engineer, and a big sci-fi fan.
Nice to meet you! I’m Roopshri (she/her). I am a UX designer at BCG based in India. Previously, I’ve worked as a UX engineer improving the user experience of IT solutions for healthcare, at Cerner
My story
I have always been excited about finding hacks to “make life easy” – be it in organizing containers a particular way in the kitchen so that they are easy to find, or arranging the icons on my smartphone in some specific order. Working with screen readers at my job as a UX engineer made me realize that there’s a digital equivalent of “making life easy” – accessible user experience design.
I began independently learning about user experience design and it didn’t take me long to get hooked.
I’m currently focusing on how to design accessible and inclusive digital products because that’s something I care about deeply. I believe everyone should have equal access to technology without any barriers.
#30DaysOfDesign
I consider constant learning an important part of personal growth. I love learning new things every day and letting curiosity be my guide. I recently concluded #30DaysOfDesign where I explored something new in design every day for 30 days.
My idea of fun
I believe everyone should have something fun to do to unwind every once in a while. For me, it’s repurposing and painting random things and listening to science fiction (often together).
Random repurposed things
My favourite science fiction books
“First learning, then proving I’d learned. Knowing and using the knowledge aren’t the same thing.”
“Empathy, evidently, existed only within the human community, whereas intelligence to some degree could be found throughout every phylum and order including the arachnida.”
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end”
“For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen”
