Shikha and I collaborate on my research in the space of ethics and values in UX design practice. I have seen her both as a researcher and a designer who exceeds expectations in delivering high-defined outcomes, interested in learning new research methods, engaging in new domains of knowledge, and getting things done.  As a research graduate assistant, I simply call her my “right hand.”

She is always delivering good outcomes and has illustrated great design thinking skills which usually has a holistic approach of thinking about pluralistic user scenarios and journeys. Given the design project her team was working on building a mobile app to increase grocery shopping conversion rates, she leveraged her background in architecture design in building spatially-oriented digital design solutions which illustrated how she combined her design expertise from different domains.
