Hello,

I’m Lokika Prabhakaran, an Architect,

UX Researcher & Designer.

With a background in architecture and a graduate student in Human-Centered Computing from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), I’m passionate about designing accessible, research-driven, and inclusive digital experiences. From mental health apps to transit systems and food ordering platforms, my work centers on empathy, usability, and real-world impact.

A curious learner, an empathetic individual, and detail-oriented by nature, I thrive at the intersection of research and design, always aiming to make technology more human.

My Design Process….

    🔍 Understand the needs, context, and emotions of the users.

  • Define

    🧩 Clearly articulate the core problem from a user-centric perspective.

  • Ideate

    💡 Generate a wide range of creative solutions to the defined problem.

  • Prototype

    🛠️ Bring ideas to life through interactive mockups and visuals.

  • Test

“Design is where empathy meets clarity — and curiosity makes it meaningful.”
