Hey, I’m Shan.

A designer who loves turning messy problems into experiences that feel effortless and human. I’ve spent the past few years shaping AI-powered tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot and Cortana, where I get to blend systems thinking with storytelling and imagine how technology can truly support the way people work. For me, design is equal parts craft and curiosity - a chance to simplify the complex while opening doors to new possibilities.

When I’m not in Figma, you’ll usually find me with paint on my hands or a sketchbook nearby, experimenting with ideas that don’t fit into wireframes. And when I need a reset, I’m out in the water or on a trail - swimming, hiking, or biking my way back into balance. Creativity, for me, doesn’t stop at the screen. It’s a way of living, exploring, and finding inspiration everywhere.

Fun fact

Beyond the screen…

That one time I stepped in front of the camera to model a Microsoft Surface Headphones support video for Cortana setup 👀

It was a fun reminder that design isn’t just about pixels and systems, but about the real people and stories behind technology ☺️
