Hi! I'm Mihika

I'm a designer tracing tiny patterns in everyday life, i’m also endlessly drawn to real-world projects, currently studying how people learn, and building things that make the world better

i design interfaces, stories, prototypes,
sometimes even mushroom characters ;)

navigating my early 20s with
design books, figma tabs, and
a small but loyal internet corner

optimizing for honesty, usefulness,
and quiet creativity in bangalore ⁂

  • Figma

  • Illustrator

  • Photoshop

  • UserTesting

  • Maze

  • Confluence

  • Miro

  • Sketch

  • Procreate

Tools i use!

My Values

I believe design should be

responsible

A Glimpse

📍 Bengaluru, Karnataka

I see the world in colours, patterns, and little human stories.
This illustration is how Bangalore lives in my mind ~
warm, layered, interconnected,
the place that shaped who I am as a designer.

I learn, I map, I build, I test, I refine.

BORN AND RAISED,

NAMMA URU

yup that's me

I care about creating work that is responsible, intentional, and future-friendly.

Collaborative Process

I thrive in spaces where people think, build, and create together.

Ideas.Ideas.Ideas!!

I love exchanging ideas - from design concepts to creative sparks.

Travel broadens the way I see people, cultures, and systems.

Stories help people feel, understand, and connect.
