Hey there, I'm Babaljit

A communication designer who is passionate about using research, strategy and design to create work that is user-centered, solves problems and tells stories.

Graduate from the University of Cincinnati where I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Communication Design in the DAAP program, alongside double minors in IT and Sociology.

With a user-centered mindset and a sensitivity for design, I value work that is empathetic, rich in purpose, and functional. I enjoy creating holistic design solutions and building out design systems to craft meaningful experiences. My goal is to be an advocate for my users; to understand their situations and what lies at the root of their experiences and how to solve for them.

When I’m not designing, find me working through my endless list of books, trying new spicy foods around the city or curating a playlist on spotify.
