About Me

Hi there, my name is Aarsh Desai, I am a Senior majoring in User Experience Design with a minor in Graphic Design and Social Media Marketing at Bradley University. During the course of my academic career, I managed to accrue experience in freelance opportunities. I had the privilege of working for Sara Whitney an author, a Corvette Club, and even a start-up company, where I learned valuable skills such as communicating with a client what they may need on their website and I also gained a deeper understanding of prototyping web pages in software such as XD, Sketch, and Figma.
