Namaste, I am Devika.

I am a Visual Storyteller and UX Designer who has built accessible and user-centric experiences for organizations across platforms.

Currently, I am a Sr UX designer with Walmart in their People and Product team, building innovative and Gen AI-powered talent and learning tools to support 2.3M + associates across Walmart. I work as an IC and mostly collaborate with PM, Engineers, and Business & Leadership.

Prior to Walmart, I worked as a UX and Interaction designer in the central accessibility team at Google where my day-to-day work focuses on understanding users with different abilities, identifying their needs and pain points, coming up with creative ideas, and translating them into delightful and user-customer-centric products.

In my career, I've accumulated approximately eight years of diverse design experience. Over this period, I've taken on roles as a visual/graphic designer, UX generalist, and trend researcher.These varied experiences have greatly influenced my approach to product design, where I prioritize creating seamless, engaging, intuitive and action-driven user interactions.

Share my knowledge!

I have been actively helping/mentoring budding designers to make their way in the design industry.

I am honored to be a part of Symbiosis Institute Of Design as their guest lecturer for their webinars on design thinking for final year bachelor's students. It was an extraordinary experience to guide students and also learn from them.

I love to communicate my ideas through illustrations. You could often find me sitting and dribbling at parks or cafes.
