I’m Ria, a San Francisco based choreographer, performer, and UX designer working at the intersection of embodied movement and digital systems.

My creative foundation is in dance. I have performed internationally, including the Opening Ceremony of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games, SFMOMA, ODC, and the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich Danchenko Moscow Music Theater. As a choreographer and resident artist at Safehouse Arts and ODC Pilot 75, I create work that explores identity, transition, memory, and the spaces in between.

Movement trained me to understand rhythm, structure, spatial awareness, and human behavior. That perspective naturally expanded into user experience design.

In UX, I focus on clarity, flow, and systems thinking. I completed the Google UX Design Certificate and developed three case studies. Amayi is grounded in user interviews and usability testing. I am currently working on SaaS products, designing end to end user journeys, interaction systems, and scalable interface structures.

Whether on stage or inside a product, my work centers on experience and how a person moves through space, information, and emotion.

I am drawn to projects that value depth, precision, and thoughtful design in both performance and technology.
