Hey, I’m Rai!

I didn’t start in design. I started as a journalist, telling stories I thought the world needed to hear. From there, I moved into PR and hospitality, where I stayed grounded in the work I loved most: connecting people, celebrating culture, and building experiences.

Today, I’m a UX strategist, design educator, and founder who builds impactful, inclusive products for real people. Whether I’m leading UX for enterprise platforms or mentoring emerging creatives, I bring intention, empathy, and structure to every experience I design.
