Hi, I’m Shivani, a UX designer based in Chicago. I studied Product and Industrial Design at the Unitedworld Institute of Design in India, and I’m now getting my MBA Part Time at UChicago Booth to better understand the business side of building products that truly matter.

I’ve spent the past 3+ years at startups, wearing many hats and learning fast through experiences that taught me how to turn complex problems into thoughtful, user-centered solutions.

Growing up in India, America, and Singapore shaped the way I see the world and approach design: with empathy, curiosity, and an openness to different perspectives. I love exploring how people think and behave, so I can create experiences that are not just usable, but meaningful.

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me planning my next photoshoot, cooking a good meal, lost in a good book, or dancing at my local studio.
