About Me

The story behind the work

I'm Kavni Shah, a product designer who finds the small moments that make big experiences feel human. My journey has taken me from the vibrant streets of Bangalore to the innovation hubs of Chicago and Houston.

Previously at Adobe's Content Commerce Team, I've learned that the best designs come from obsessing over details others might miss. I'm passionate about fashion, tech, and the intersection where they meet to create delightful experiences.
