Hi, I'm Surya 💚
I'm a product designer with roots in architecture and 8+ years spanning Fortune 500 enterprise and scrappy startups. I bring people together, push beyond the brief, and turn ambiguity into systems. When I'm not elbows-deep in Figma, I'm lifting heavy weights or enjoying a good fiction novel.

Testimonials
Duane Gayle
UX Director, PwC
Surya's work on an enterprise-wide validation platform was so strong that I asked her to present it to a room full of design leaders and senior managers. She didn't just deliver, she landed. That's when I knew she was someone special.
What sets Surya apart is her ability to see the whole system, not just her slice of it. She thinks through stakeholders, handoffs, and downstream impact. On our small but mighty team supporting global applications, she brought rigor and heart, making complex systems usable, consistent, and trusted by teams around the world.
Any team would be lucky to have her.
Jennifer Dolan
Sr UX Manager, PwC
During her time at PwC, Surya demonstrated resilience and adaptability through periods of constant change and consistently took ownership of her work with minimal oversight, making her a trusted UX partner. Throughout challenging timelines, she remained committed to advocating for strong UX practices and maintaining focus on delivering quality UI.

Director of Marketing Engagement, UnitedHealth Group
Surya jumped right in and delivered beautiful designs to an overly complex concept. Outside of that, she's a super awesome human and I could only be so lucky to work with her again!

Owner and Producer, Five/4 Studios
Surya was our unsung hero and champion. Her images were raw, melancholic, emotional — like a story within each image. We appreciated her early and specific attention to detail, her terrific turnarounds, and her ability to take a project further than we imagined. The book and video she created helped us build a strong high-level creative package around the project.
