About Me

Savani- Pronounciation- (suh-VA-nee)

Meaning: Early morning raga sung in rainy season

A user-focused UX/Product Designer with over 5 years of experience creating intuitive and scalable solutions for SaaS and enterprise products. My journey into design began with my background in computer science 🖥️, where I developed a passion for problem-solving and human-computer interaction. This led me to pursue a Master’s in HCI 🎨 and transition into the field of UX design, where I could merge my technical skills 👾 with creativity to craft impactful user experiences.

Throughout my career, I’ve designed adaptable and accessible interfaces, collaborated with cross-functional teams, and built design systems that scale across complex product ecosystems.

My approach combines systems thinking, interaction design, and a commitment to accessibility. I thrive on understanding user needs, solving design challenges, and delivering solutions that align with business goals.

Beyond design, I enjoy mentoring junior designers, staying up-to-date with industry trends, and sharing insights with the UX community.

Let’s connect to discuss how we can create meaningful user experiences together!
