Raini Vargas

Instructor Associate

San Francisco

As a UX / Product Designer with two years of experience, I am passionate about creating user-centered experiences that promote inclusivity and fairness. I hold the belief that as a designer, I am of service to others, and strive to incorporate this philosophy into my work. My background in service design, education, and product management has given me a strong foundation in design principles and user research. I have a deep understanding of the needs of diverse users, and a track record of success in creating intuitive and accessible interfaces that support the needs of underserved communities. My previous experience includes working as a Product Intern at Grindr and building my portfolio of freelance clients.

I am dedicated to using my skills and expertise to help organizations connect with the communities they serve, and to create products that promote justice and equity. I am excited to bring my passion and experience to new challenges and opportunities.
