Hello! 👋 I'm Shanivi, a Product Designer and Researcher
And while no one asked me...
 If humans were vehicles, I’d be a tuktuk:
 agile, dependable, chaos-ready, people-first and culture-driven.

A Human, Hired by Humans to design for Humans.

One of my professors always said, “I was never hired by the user.
And that really stuck with me. As much as I care about users, I know I’m here to help the business succeed too.
I design things that make people’s lives easier, but I also make sure those designs move the product forward, support my team, and make real impact.
That’s where I think good design lives. Right at that intersection.

Real Feedback, Real Impact

"I would highly recommend Shanivi for any UX design position in any industry. I know her very well both as a student and as a professional designer.

Shanivi took both of my UX Design grad level classes at SJSU. I was also her thesis advisor. She was also my TA for the user experience design class. In addition, I hired Shanivi to work with me (my rCDO UX consulting company) on a major UX redesign in the medical products area. In all of the above mentioned endeavors her work was outstanding. She also has very good communication skills and is easy to work with.

You would be lucky to have her on your team."

"I enjoyed working with Shanivi during her internship with our design team at homegenius, a Radian Company. I am incredibly impressed with her talent and dedication as a UX/UI Designer.

Her designs were consistently user-centric, reflecting a deep understanding of UX principles. She translated complex requirements into intuitive, visually appealing interfaces, making a significant impact on our projects. Shanivi’s eagerness to learn, openness to feedback, and adaptability were remarkable. Her collaborative and positive attitude was a joy to work with, and her commitment to excellence ensured high-quality outcomes.

I highly recommend her for any UX/UI design role; she is a talented designer with a bright future ahead."

"Responsible and reliable are two words that come immediately to mind when I think of Shanivi Gupta. I had the pleasure of serving as Shanivi’s direct supervisor during her 18-month tenure as a Global Leader, where Shanivi worked diligently on a multicultural team of 10 peers to plan and implement events and programs in support of 2,500+ international students at our institution. Shanivi organized and facilitated many of these activities, including our bi-annual International Welcome, Meetups, and Global Chats.

Shanivi’s event coordination skills, public speaking ability, and compassion made her a valued member of our team. I truly enjoyed working with Shanivi and getting to know her personally. Shanivi will make a great addition to any team!"
