I recently got a PS5 from my lovely internship, I'm currently playing Baldur's Gate 3!
I got really into chess after being terrible for years, so I'm currently on a learning streak with Duolingo.
I love to travel, in college I spent a semester abroad studying design at UCD in Dublin, Ireland!
I'm a huge fan of escape rooms — solving puzzles with friends is my favorite place to be.

I'm thrilled you're here

Hey there!

I've always been drawn to solving challenges and I want to use those instincts to improve the lives of others through design. As a product designer, I thrive in complexity, working to untangle the mess and shape thoughtful, meaningful experiences.

Lately, I've been using AI-assisted workflows to bring my interactions to life, building experiences that push my design thinking beyond a digital medium, and staying curious about the psychology behind why people do what they do.

I'm currently seeking Product / UX Design roles, if you're working on something exciting, I'd love to connect!

Let's build together,
Gayatri Shetty

Experience

I recently graduated from the University of Rochester where I studied Computer Science (HCI), Digital Media Studies, and UX Design.

My interdisciplinary background helps me design with technical constraints in mind and collaborate effectively across teams.
