Hi, my name is Trupti! 👋 I'm a UI/UX designer with a twist!

Alongside my 5-year experience in customer service, I had a childhood passion for visual arts that I found intriguing. 🎨 After earning my bachelors in applied art and design, diving into UI/UX felt like the most natural progression.
Delving into the art of creating impactful design experiences is where my passion truly ignites! From social media ads to app icons, I've had a blast creating for various clients. 🚀 It's taught me that user-centric design is the real MVP!
Excited to bring my customer service savvy and design chops to the tech world! 🌟
When I'm not glued to my screen, you'll find me with a paintbrush in hand, exploring new places, singing my heart out, or whipping up a storm in the kitchen. 🌍🎶🍲
Let's chat design and more! I'm all ears for making magic happen together! ✨
