Hey! I'm Kritika, a Designer, Artist and Founder in Auckland, New Zealand.
My aim is to share culturally diverse stories and encourage mental well-being to develop empathy and empower communities.
My work focuses on UX/UI Design, Digital, Illustration, Video and Photography.
Previously, at Fidelity Life, I was creating experiences for Westpac Life's transition to Fidelity Insurance. At Datapoints, I designed an accessible stock insights platform as a solo designer.
Along with design, I have a deep passion for Visual Arts. I'm constantly exploring new tools to express myself creatively. Lately, I've been creating youtube videos and teaching at Kids Art Circle.

Kids Art Circle - The story
I taught kids Arts and Crafts ever since I was a young girl myself. I grew up with lovely Art teachers, who really believed in me - my mum being my biggest cheerleader! I felt excited to share the joy and support Art has brought to my life over the years with the children in my cities.
I founded Kids Art Circle in 2021 to helps Artistic Growth and Expression for Kids. After 6 months of teaching, it got picked up by the Auckland Council as an offering for the community children. Currently, we're holding workshops with the Auckland Council libraries to create awareness about climate change by using recycled materials to create art.
