hey! i'm Saumyaa
I'm a Product Designer currently based out of New York City, and studying Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle. 🌧️
I started "my career" as an artist at 5, studied Math and Computer Science as an undergrad, and worked as a Software Engineer after college before I pivoted to design.
At the core of it:
I love simplifying and solving gnarly problems, diving into the trenches, and bringing order to chaos. My work focuses on high-exploration output, strong visual design, and quickly taking concepts from ideation to implementation.
my special sauce ✨
Design Speed
Having worked at startups, I have optimized my workflows to explore a wide range of options in a short amount of time. I like to be thorough and ensure that all possibilities are seen through.
Nuanced Problem Solving
I have a knack for understanding the subtle complexities of a problem space. This allows me to consider multiple perspectives, think holistically, and question baseline assumptions.
Design meets Development
As an ex-engineer, I understand development constraints and communicate easily with the engineers. I'm also not afraid to dive into the weeds of data and code with the team.
Swift Adaptability
I can iterate quickly based on user feedback, adapt to changing project requirements, and consistently deliver refined designs that align with both user needs and business objectives.
