About Me

About Me

Hi, I’m Geetika Batra, a former Java Developer turned UX Designer, driven by a passion for creating meaningful and intuitive digital experiences. I come from the vibrant town of Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India, and my journey into the tech and design world has been shaped by a blend of curiosity, creativity, and cultural diversity.

My Journey

I graduated with a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, in April 2019. Before that, I completed my high school education at Delhi Public School, Jodhpur, and began my undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA. These experiences have given me a global perspective and an adaptable mindset, which I bring to every project I take on.

As a Java Developer, I gained a strong foundation in backend architecture and problem-solving. But it was my love for understanding user behavior and crafting interfaces that sparked my transition to UX Design. Now, I get to combine my technical expertise with creative skills to design solutions that are as functional as they are delightful.

What I Bring to the Table

  • Technical Foundation: My background in Computer Science and Java development ensures my designs are both innovative and implementable.

  • Creative Flair: Beyond coding, I love painting, illustrating and dancing which inspire me to think outside the box and add a unique artistic touch to my work. I also work freelance for graphic design projects which have allowed me to enhance my skills to provide the user with their needs.

  • User-Centric Focus: I approach design with empathy, aiming to simplify complex systems and make technology accessible to everyone.

  • Global Perspective: Having studied and lived in India, the USA, and Canada, I bring a multicultural lens to design challenges, ensuring inclusivity and relevance.

My Interests

When I’m not busy designing or coding, you’ll find me painting, illustrating, or exploring new ways to express creativity. These hobbies not only bring me joy but also enrich my design process by helping me see the world through different lenses.
