DESIGN LEADER AT GOOGLE
ABOUT ME
I’m a design leader who thrives where complex technology meets human intuition. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to shipping award-winning products at global scale. I lead multi-disciplinary UX teams, bridging gaps between C-suite strategy and technical delivery to turn emerging tech into trusted, everyday experiences.
WORLD IS MY OYSTER
My journey as a designer has taken me across the globe to work with diverse groups in Scandinavia, Central Europe, Southeast Asia, Australasia and currently in North America.

RECOGNITION
Matthew Di Bari (Go-To-Market Leader, Google)
“Ritika’s durability and "wide design" perspective is in the top % of those I've worked with. She always enters every C-suite conversation with a positive attitude, soliciting feedback and proposing changes that increased collaboration and raised the bar for the entire executive leadership vision. She is incredibly agile; moving from intent to high-quality execution often by the very next meeting. Her bias for action makes her a true force multiplier, I highly recommend her for any team looking for a strategic design leader.”
Marshall Jones (UX Manager, Google)
“Honestly, Ritika is one of those designers I could just 'aim' at a messy problem and get out of the way. She’s exceptional at bridging the gap between high-level ecosystem strategy and fast, technical execution. I’ve watched her navigate gnarly ecosystems and technical constraints without breaking a sweat! She genuinely thrives in that kind of high-ambiguity space and solves platform challenges most find daunting. If you have a high-ambiguity role that needs a heavy hitter who can bridge ecosystem strategy with real execution, Ritika is it.”
