About
I'm Reshma (RAYsh-ma), an artist/designer/researcher who makes interactive tools and experiences that help communities learn, express, visualize, and/or advocate for themselves. My practice is deeply rooted in diverse research methodologies and a pluralist lens.
I have ~5 years of experience building digital products for Web, iOS and Android. But I also love to engage with a variety of other forms to meet each project's goals, ranging from data visualization, interactive installations, game design, psych+design research, publication, 3D film and sound.
Painfully Periodic: a collective web-memoir
Painfully Periodic is a web platform that invites menstruating people to visualize and describe their menstrual experiences, especially of discomfort and pain, through engaging poll interfaces. Answers are anonymously aggregated and transformed into interactive visualizations that depict similarity and variability in menstrual pain, asynchronously and anonymously archive experiences of menstrual pain as a memoir-data visualization.
