# Vanshika Swaika > Senior UX Designer @ Centric Software | HCI Master's Location: Greater Seattle Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/vanshikaswaika With over 8 years of experience, my journey in UX design has seen constant growth, diverse domains and left a trail of impactful experiences in both B2C and B2B landscapes. I am a strategic thinker, an effective collaborator, and a catalyst for growth. I believe in the transformative power of design to create meaningful experiences, and I am driven by a constant desire to learn, adapt, and push the boundaries of what's possible. My design roots took hold at Parsons School of Design, where I fine-tuned my visual sensibilities and aesthetic craft. Seeking a deeper understanding of human-computer interaction, I pursued a Masters in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Washington. This blend of academic background forms the foundation of my approach to user-centered design. I am currently solving complex enterprise problems in 3D and Sustainability business units within PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software at Centric Software. ## Work Experience ### Senior UX Designer @ Centric Software Jan 2023 – Present | Greater Seattle Area Currently solving complex enterprise problems in 3D and Sustainability verticals within PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) Software. ### UX Designer @ Centric Software Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Greater Seattle Area ### User Experience Designer II @ Lucid Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Seattle, Washington, United States Designed for Lucidchart, an online diagramming tool.
