Hi, I’m Aatika Rehman, a designer dedicated to aligning products with human needs.

Here you can find some of my past projects:

Grab n’ Cook

User Experience Design & Research – Semester Project | Academic Project

Grab n’ Cook is a mobile meal-planning and cooking app designed to help users decide what to cook based on the ingredients they already have.

The goal of this project was to strengthen my skills in user-centered design, journey mapping, information architecture, and Figma prototyping, while creating an intuitive experience that reduces the friction of daily meal planning and encourages more intentional cooking habits.

UX DESIGN • USER RESEARCH • PROTOTYPING

Graphic Design

My graphic design work explores the intersection of illustration, typography, and layout. I focus on creating visually compelling pieces that communicate concepts clearly while maintaining a refined and cohesive aesthetic.

Photography

A collection of moments I’ve captured through both digital and film. I shoot primarily with a Canon G7X Mark II for digital photography and a Canon SureShot Z135 for 35mm film, allowing me to explore both crisp modern imagery and nostalgic, grain-rich storytelling. My work focuses on capturing emotion, atmosphere, and candid detail, from intimate portraits to event coverage.

I’ve worked alongside wedding photographers and assisted on shoots as a creative director, helping guide composition, lighting, and visual storytelling to bring meaningful moments to life.
