2024_Headshot_June-aparna badgandi.jpg

Visual designer with a knack for storytelling, a keen eye for detail and a proven track record of delivering thoughtful, delightful user-centered solutions. I also love solving problems, as long as they aren’t my own.
 
Over the course of my 8 years in the industry, I have consistently driven product success and user engagement through a combination of creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking. I have designed for needs across industries including e-commerce, technology, fashion, real estate and hospitality, thereby accruing a varied, well-rounded repertoire of skills and interests. I’m most passionate about multi-disciplinary projects that allow me to use my skills in branding, creative strategy, illustration, motion design, and UI/UX design.
