WHY DO I DO UX?
shivani ? shivani.
THAT LED ME HERE
I have always loved the complexities and fascinations of ‘Whys’ and ‘How might we’s’ that surrounded me!
Now, I finally get paid for it :p
(July'26 layoffs gang)
(me during graduation),
unaware of how interesting the design space was going to get!
- MS, Human Centered Design @Pace University
- Built a strong foundation | did cool projects | now I lead full design cycles!
Looking for my next team
to build great experiences with !
WHAT SHAPES ME AS A DESIGNER?
Making time to engage with history and art, to deepen my understanding of how people relate to things across time and culture - quietly(& loudly) informing design decisions.
Most importantly,
✨THINGS THAT KEEP ME SANE✨
✨ Listening to a lot of music and also singing songs. ✨
✨ Beautiful sunsets to zone out,
and looking up at the sky thinking,
“Wow/seriously, universe?” ✨
( it really does wonders )
( Unlearning few learnings)
Understanding the existing context, where it breaks and how people think within it. Everything else will follow from there.
( Btw, I met and shared a drink with the
co-creator of the World Wide Web. hihi )
Thank you for your time 👍
Spending time reading, engaging in design conversations and YouTube rabbit holes until some clarity emerges and also for vibes.
