About Me

I’m Shiva

I am a UI/UX and product designer who enjoys turning unclear ideas into simple, meaningful products. I work closely with product, data, engineering, and business teams to define strategy, understand user needs, and design experiences that scale to millions of people across cultures.

I’m especially interested in AI-supported design and modern ways of working that help teams move faster with more clarity. My background in psychology, philosophy, and art helps me understand how people think, learn, and feel, and I bring that perspective into every product I shape.

How I Work

Clarity Through Collaboration

I transform ambiguity into clear product direction by aligning cross-functional teams and partners around shared user needs and technical constraints.

AI Integration

AI is a natural part of my process. I use it for exploring ideas, testing variations, building fast prototypes, and helping teams move from uncertainty to insight.

Systems Thinking

Whether the product lives across devices, partner surfaces, or AI-driven environments, I design with consistency, adaptability, and long-term scalability in mind.

Human-Centric

My background in psychology helps me understand how people think, learn, and behave. It guides how I run research and design experiences that feel intuitive.
