I'm glad you asked!

Hello, I'm Shivani (shuh·vaa·nee), I'm a Product Designer based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I started as a visual designer fascinated by typography and letterform design. My work in brand identity includes projects for notable clients, such as Furlenco and Qraft Lighting London.
Transitioning into product design, I led projects at Eightfold AI, Walmart's Flipkart, and Godrej, covering AI Assistants, Design Systems, Fintech, E-commerce, and more, impacting 150 million+ users. I enjoy collaborations and have led large projects with over 25 stakeholders. I also hold a patent on a cosmetic shopping experience utilizing LLM & AR.
Currently, I'm pursuing an MDes in Interaction Design at Carnegie Mellon to explore my interests in human-centered AI with IoT.
With my branding background, I integrate elements like brand archetypes, market research, and holistic service experience into my product design process. I am also confident in developing product strategies and communicating metrics and timelines.
