about me
a little context on who I am, what I care about, and how I design.
currently
UIUC Information Science (HCI/UX) • New Grad • Product & UX design
I’m Shivani, a recent graduate from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with a B.S. in Information Sciences with a concentration in HCI/UX and a minor in Business.
I design thoughtful, user-centered digital experiences, with a focus on clarity, usability, and polished UI. I especially enjoy working through real-world problems and turning complex ideas into intuitive products to make people’s lives easier.
Workflow & Collaboration
I believe in "Design-to-Code" transparency. I bridge the gap between vision and execution by utilizing Figma for high-fidelity specs and leveraging LLMs to build functional, vibe-coded prototypes. This approach allows me to validate technical feasibility early and hand off designs that aren't just pretty, but ready for production.
outside of design
Outside of design, I love dancing, baking, and exploring creative outlets like graphic design and content creation. I enjoy experimenting visually, telling stories through different mediums, and collaborating with others to bring ideas to life!
