Hello,

I’m Shruti

Striving to maintain a sense of white space in both life and design.

"Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful."

-John Maeda

Well! reading further you are going to meet a crazy yet curious personality. Currently, I'm a 4th year student in the User Experience Design program at MIT Institute of Design.

As I closely observe, the world's like a giant puzzle with people of all ages struggling to achieve something, whether it's a child learning ABCs or an elderly person trying to snap a photo of their grandchild. Lately, I've been pondering this. It seems like the world has countless questions and not so many answers.

But you know what? The journey of seeking those answers is often more thrilling than actually finding them, don't you think?

That's precisely what design represents for me – transforming the journey into an exciting adventure and creating unforgettable experiences.

And this is what make me

A DESIGNER.

During my time at Phionike, I actively contributed to two client-based projects where I was responsible for creating user flows, developing tailored wireframes, and crafting prototypes to meet client specifications. These projects encompassed both mobile and web screen design. Additionally, I collaborated closely with fellow designers, providing valuable support in user research and various design activities.

UX Intern

In my role, I took charge of redesigning the high-fidelity prototypes for both the Rarome website and the Rarome web application, focusing on enhancing their user experience. This involved a thorough analysis of user flows to optimize navigation and streamline UI screens. Additionally, I led the design efforts for a website, creating high-fidelity screens, wireframes, and mockups to ensure a seamless user experience. Notably, I redesigned high-fidelity screens and crafted over 30 icons for the Rarome web application, significantly improving its user interface and overall usability. Furthermore, I contributed by producing Loom videos aimed at enhancing the user experience of Rarome Schools software, offering step-by-step guidance and tutorials to minimize user confusion and improve usability.

During lockdown I explored new way of playing with paper through quilling 😁

To my surprise, I discovered I was quite skilled at it. The only thing holding me back was my hesitation to try something different.

Apart from that, papers have a very special place in my heart as I love surprising my closed ones with handmade gifts 🎁 until they say they are running out of space 🤭
