Hi, I'm Shiva.

Making something everyday for

—

I design for brands and digital products.

I like finding the right idea and staying with it through the details. Outside work, I run CreativeCodingNYC and make rooms worth showing up to.

What I'm working on

What I keep coming back to

I like making complicated things clear enough for people to use.

Selected work

01 — 03

01 / Product design / T-Mobile

T-Mobile / Veloce

At T-Mobile, I helped design a planning platform for RF engineers. The work was about making dense network data easier to navigate without losing the details they need.

Creative Coding NYC

I organize a weekly space where artists and technologists make with code, share what they are learning, and build alongside one another.
