hello, i'm ISHIKA
I turn human insight into products that connect.


I design and lead MIXED METHODS RESEARCH that combines qualitative storytelling with quantitative rigor.
My research journey is fueled by a love of collaboration! I love to move between cultures, job functions, and industries; using UXR principles to carve out meaningful stories from disparate data.
My approach centers on cross-functional clarity and inclusion. I believe in making research actionable, bias-aware, and globally resonant. My path through behavioral science, civic tech, and product management has taught me that multicultural fluency accelerates innovation. From mentoring researchers to aligning executive leadership with user needs, I bring a cross-cultural lens that keeps my team members grounded in the people their products serve.
