Hi, I’m Shalini – a curious designer, researcher, and storyteller on a mission to make technology accessible, inclusive and fun for everyone. I’m that person who’s constantly asking:

“But is this easy for everyone to use?”

My journey started as an engineer, but I quickly realized I was in love with design – not just the pretty kind, but the problem-solving kind that makes a difference.

When I’m not nerding out on user research or playing around with prototypes, you’ll probably find me:

• Caring for stray animals back home in India 🐾 (shoutout to my animal welfare NGO!)

• Staring at photos of my 9 year old rescue cat back at home in Bangalore, India. 🐈

• Planning my next high altitude trek in the Himalayas. 🧗🏻‍♀️

• Trying to hit a new deadlift PR at the gym, my current best is 242 lbs. 🏋🏻‍♀️

• Snacking on almond butter toasts or weird but delicious sourdough combos 🍞

If you’re looking for someone who loves tackling complex problems, building thoughtful solutions, and maybe sneaking in a corny pun, I’m your person. Let's connect – I promise it'll be fun!
