About Kalyani

Product Designer I at UST Global

My story is an amalgamation of art, design and technology. Since childhood I have been expressing myself through art and paintings which led me to pursue my bachelor's in Graphic Design. Later, I transitioned into the field of Human-Centred Design to find a more meaningful purpose. 3 years at Accenture as a UX Designer helped me build my skills in leadership and cross-disciplinary collaboration. I wanted to learn more, that's how I landed in San Francisco to pursue my Masters in Interaction Design from California College of the Arts.

I'm looking for my next big design adventure and feel now is the time to also give back to my community. Over the span of my design journey I have helped a lot of friends, peers and juniors with career guidance, transition to design and making decisions as an international student.

I hope to stay engaged with the design community. I strongly wish to keep the conversation and spark alive, as I would not be here without the help of numerous people. I'm excited to start this new chapter! ✨
