Gayathri Addanki

I’m a dedicated UI/UX Designer with a strong foundation in customer-focused problem-solving and a commitment to creating impactful user experiences. My career journey began in the government sector, where I developed essential skills in communication, customer service, and adapting to digital tools.

 

I then transitioned to UI/UX design, gaining hands-on experience at a stealth startup, where I collaborated with founders and cross-functional teams to craft designs aligned with business goals. Through studies at CODE University and CareerFoundry, I’ve refined my expertise in user research, iterative prototyping, and visual design. I’m passionate about using these skills to create accessible, intuitive interfaces that elevate user experiences.
