Hello. I'm Ritesh — design leader, coffee nerd, curator of nice things.

About

I lead the digital product team at Jobs and Skills Australia, where we build tools that help Australians understand the workforce, skills, and labour market.

With a background in mechanical engineering and data analysis, I came to design sideways. That mix helps me connect what we're building to why it matters — and to take ideas from concept through to working product.

What drives me is seeing good, accessible design make its way into the public service. It has a real impact on people's lives, and I'm grateful to do that work every day.
