Hey there 👋
I am Shadmani
I am a computer science undergraduate and a creative problem solver who is on a journey to become a better designer. Growing up, I have always been intrigued by people's perspectives and why we act the way we do and this is what I aim to delve deeper into.
My goal is to create meaningful experiences and products that are easy to use and accessible for all and I truly believe that the intersection of technology and human-centered design has the power to change the world.
When I'm not designing, you can find me gardening 🌱, making over my apartment 🖼️, or practicing my ukulele by the beach 🎶🏖️
My Design Principles
Empathic Immersion
By immersing ourselves in users' worlds, we can truly grasp their needs, frustrations, and aspirations, enabling us to create empathetic and meaningful user experiences that address their underlying motivations.
Intuitive Fluidity
Users shouldn't have to struggle to understand how to navigate or interact with a digital product. By designing with intuitive fluidity in mind, we can create experiences that feel natural and effortless, enhancing user satisfaction and engagement.
Inclusive Engagement
Inclusive design starts with inclusive engagement. By involving a diverse range of users in our design process, we gain invaluable insights and perspectives that help us create products that are accessible and inclusive for everyone.
