Hi! I am Dila (d-luh), a product designer with 3 years of experience in e-commerce startups and B2B health-tech products.
As a generalist, I have been involved in various stages of the product design process, including research, wireframing, and design systems — I aim to ask the right questions to understand user needs and solve problems with the right solutions with business goals in mind. I’m especially passionate about purposeful, simple designs driven by research and insights rather than ‘personal taste.’

Recommendations
Dila is detail-oriented, talented, thoughtful, easy-going, and a great communicator. She has no shortage of ideas when tackling complex application design and grounds her work with UX research and testing. We often meet to discuss things like research and design methodologies, furthering the role UX plays within a company, etc. I'd jump at the chance to have her on my team. She's a rockstar (but in a humble way).

I had the pleasure of working with Dila on a project at Omnicell. She's a great team player, is hungry to gain as much knowledge about a product space that she can, and is willing to go the extra mile to deliver what's asked of her. Dila is a great asset on any team that she's on, and I can't wait to see what she does in the future.

Dila’s contributions have been above and beyond. She has unparalleled attention to detail and translates our mockups into slick and clean workflows and interactions on Figma. She has a very creative outlook for how Stitchology can be portrayed to consumers and sticks to the goals of solving customer pain points in the South Asian fashion space… I highly recommend Dila to work in the future as she is one of the best designers I have ever worked with.

Dila was a joy to work with. We had the opportunity to collaborate multiple times and she always made my job easier. Capable of good thought processes, able to defend her work but also listen to other viewpoints, and a diligent designer, Dila is an asset on any team she is on.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dila for almost a year! She brings a passion and drive for design. She dives into problem spaces and goes above and beyond to learn and share her findings. I find that her designs are not only beautiful but thoughtful as well. She clearly has users at the heart of every decision she makes.
