Shravya Deswal
UX RESEARCHER | BRAND STRATEGIST | UI/UX DESIGNER
Hey there,
I am a seasoned UX professional with a proven track record of translating complex data into impactful user experiences. With a passion for understanding user needs and driving business growth, I leverage my 5+ years of experience to craft compelling research insights and design deliverables that bridge the gap between strategy and execution. With a proven track record of success, I am dedicated to driving positive change through creating products that resonate with users making me a valuable asset to any team.
A world of Exploration and Curiosity
​Growing up in a military household with a fighter pilot dad and a commercially-licensed pilot mom instilled a deep love for exploration and adaptability in me. This upbringing, alongside the "cultural diversity award" I received in 2015, reflects my natural curiosity about different cultures and experiences. It's no surprise that I'm drawn to constant learning, analysis, and strategy!
From Visuals to Value
My design journey began with a focus on visual elements. However, I quickly discovered a deeper passion for user research and crafting solutions that prioritize user needs. My mentors even described me as "agnostic" and "open-minded" in my approach, meaning I'm not confined to a single methodology. Instead, I embrace a flexible mindset, selecting the best tools for each project to ensure optimal solutions for unique user challenges.
Leadership by Observation
Leadership seems to be ingrained in me, perhaps due to the strong leadership styles I witnessed in my parents. My dad, a fighter pilot, exemplified decisive action, while my mom, with her analytical mind, displayed empathy and unwavering optimism. These experiences have fostered strong people skills, the ability to solve problems on the fly, and a firm belief in creating inclusive spaces for everyone, regardless of background.
Beyond the Portfolio
When I'm not working, you can find me exploring nature through beautiful walks and hikes. I also enjoy cooking delicious meals for friends, and unwinding with friends over board games, music, and captivating movies and delving into research rabbit holes. As a true fire sign, I find peace near water bodies, and there's nothing quite like a refreshing swim to rejuvenate me. To keep my mind sharp, I enjoy the challenge of puzzles, sudoku, and and anything that challenges my brain.
