# Ayesha K. > Product Designer 💻🎨 Creative Technologist | AI | Web3d | XR Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ayeshak Hi! I'm Ayesha 🦋 👋🏽 I have 7+ years of experience crafting mobile & web apps. I love helping startups in the space of XR, healthcare, education, and mental health design to enhance their mobile and web app experience backed by research and data. Currently exploring the world of Experience Reality! 🥽🕹📹 💌 : PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE I was working at Thoughtworks, a global tech consulting company. I worked for a wide range of projects (in different countries too!) with different companies such as large startups, big tech companies, and even museums. Prior, I was working at Sonaphi, a healthcare tech company. I focused on designing the clinical study app and redesign of the admin dashboard. And before that, I was working at Travonde, an app that makes events easy for all ages but focused more on the generations before millennials. Not only did I participate in the design process, I even got to implementing some of my designs in ReactJS, CSS, and Swift. 🏆 : AWARDS - MIT Reality Hack 2024 Honorable Mention for using Bezi - AR/VR Hackathon for Thoughtworks 2023 - Spotlight Award for Thoughtworks | March 2022 West + Canada Market Update - 2nd Place in Hacking for Humanity Hackathon for Girls in Tech | $1,500 for second place - Best of Show (Project School-Wide CMPE/SE Department) for Senior Project at SJSU out of 400 graduating seniors - Certificate of Leadership for CodePath's Tech Fellow Society for leading a class of 80 students in an iOS programming boot camp | Also received $400 for most students nationwide - Best Community Development Project Award for UmmaHacks Hackathon 🛠️ : TOOLS OF CHOICE Figma, Bezi, Unity, Blender, and Notion(aka. my life planner!).
