Design that
makes sense.

I’m a multidisciplinary designer who turns complex ideas into clear, thoughtful work.With a background in computer science and interaction design, I design websites, online stores and apps, and the content that brings people to them: social posts, ads, videos, AI imagery and sales decks.

with asking why.

Portrait of Rhea Babaji

Rhea Babaji

Multidisciplinary Designer

I love figuring out why some designs work, and why some just don’t.

I started out in computer science, but found my way into design when I realised I was far more interested in how people actually experience the things we build.

I care about the thinking behind a design, not just how it looks.

I like understanding why a decision works, experimenting with different approaches, and finding the one that feels right for the problem.

At the same time, I really enjoy the visual side of design. I’ve learnt that how something looks can completely change how it feels to use, so for me, good design has always been a balance of both.

That’s taken me beyond websites and apps, into social posts, ads, videos, emails and AI-generated imagery for the brands I work with.

PriceEasy — Making complex retail data easier to act on

Product design · Dashboards, LMS and website

PriceEasy is a retail technology platform built for fuel and convenience store businesses. As a Visual, UX Designer, I worked across different parts of the brand and product experience – from redesigning the website and creating the Motiva × PriceEasy gateway to designing an LMS, dashboards, onboarding experiences and supporting visual communication.
My work moved between product and visual design, giving me the opportunity to take complex information and turn it into experiences that were easier to understand, navigate and communicate.

Eggsellent — Redesigning a food diary app around positivity

App redesign · Monash University, 2024

A six-week Interaction Design brief at Monash University: take three screens from an app built the semester before and redesign how they look and feel. I built the new design around positivity, with bright colours and playful egg characters that make logging a meal feel encouraging rather than a chore.
I worked from research and sketches through low-, mid- and high-fidelity wireframes to a full style guide of type, colour, shadows and reusable components.

Welbit — Making healthy eating simpler for busy students

App design · Monash University, 2023

A food diary app for university students juggling busy schedules and little time to cook well. Students photograph a meal and the AR camera recognises the food and shows its nutrition in real time; a calendar keeps track of what they have eaten, and personalised suggestions offer healthier alternatives and portion guidance.
Designed over six weeks, from background research and user flows to mid- and high-fidelity screens.
