UX Designer

I'm Rashi Somani, a curious mind and UX designer from New York. I design with empathy, think in systems, and obsess over the tiny details — to create experiences that not only work, but feel right.

About Me

My design journey began in the fast-paced world of movie post-production, where I coordinated teams for global blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame and Mission Impossible. In that high-stakes environment, I learned to juggle creative minds, solve problems quickly, and manage chaos with a calm head — skills that now shape how I approach UX: with empathy, precision, and a deep respect for collaboration.

After moving to the U.S., I pursued a UX Design certificate from UCLA. That transition wasn't just a career change — it was a choice to turn curiosity into craft. Since then, I've worked on thoughtful, research-led design projects that focus on creating seamless, human-centered experiences.

Outside of work, I'm a dog-loving, coffee-obsessed explorer with a love for photography, fashion, and sketching. Whether I'm capturing a sunset on a solo trip or sketching an idea in a café, I find inspiration in the little things — and bring that same energy into my design work.
