About Riya Karnani

Creative storyteller. Strategic thinker. Purpose-driven designer. I’m Riya, a design enthusiast with a foundation in Fashion Communication and a Master’s in Design from NIFT, specialising in UI/UX, sustainable systems, and design innovation. I craft user-first experiences that blend visual appeal with strategic intent. From executing high-impact campaigns for brands like Philips, Flipkart, Domino’s, and Exotic India, to leading UI/UX case studies and business model innovations at NIFT. I merge design thinking with real-world results. My work has increased engagement by 30%, streamlined user journeys, and enhanced brand visibility across platforms. Skilled in Figma, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Rush, ChatGPT, and Midjourney, I bring ideas to life using tools + methods like empathy mapping, wireframing, journey mapping, SCAMPER, and more. With a hybrid mindset, creative yet analytical, artistic yet research-driven I’m passionate about designing solutions that are impactful, intuitive, and future-forward.
