About me

long story short.

"I make the moves up as I go."

I'm Ria — a Computer Engineering Technology student at Purdue with minors in Psychology, Entrepreneurship, and Computer Engineering. My background is a strange but useful mix consisting of cell phone repair, professional video editing, full-stack project development, 3D modeling and printing, and customer service.

My hands-on history made me meticulous about details. I care about user-friendly design, out-of-the-box thinking, and content that respects the person on the other side of the screen.

Outside of class, I indulge myself in hobbies that sharpen my skills. My Etsy shop CowShopCo is where I design and 3D print custom jewelry. I also work with local brands to increase their online presence through app/web development or content creation.

CDI Official

Camera Developed Imagination.

Founder

CDI Official was my one-stop media production studio, founded as a teen and run for almost a decade. It delivered 50+ professionally edited videos plus apps, websites, event videography, and photography that built clients' brand identities — including healthcare clients under NDA. Highlights: immersive 360°/VR simulations for the Augusta University Medical Simulation Center, later adapted into VR training apps for medical students, and patient explainers for AugustaENT credited with measurably easing patient anxiety.
