Hi.
I’m Devika. It means "little goddess", but for the sake of sounding humble, I go by Dev. I like to use my creativity to solve problems and tell stories. I like working with people who find the humor and make meaningful work. I am always working on a personal project. It’s important to me to give back to my community through mentorship, pro bono work, and sometimes, baking. I like to draw silly pictures and write sillier poems. I’ve worked in Bombay, London, and San Francisco, and am currently based in New York City.
