About Pranali Shinde
Senior User Researcher at Motorola Solutions
I am Pranali (Pra-naa-li). I am a UX professional with a Master's Degree in Human-Computer Interaction, a 2-year interdisciplinary program focused on research, technology, and design. I have 5+ years of industrial experience in a variety of domains including FinTech, enterprise tools, voice technology, travel, and virtual reality (VR).
Although UX Research is where my core expertise lies, I also have cross-skills in UX Design & UX Strategy. I love discovering new technologies, storytelling, and innovation. Throughout the years, as a researcher, I have directed several end-to-end generative and evaluative research investigations. I have extensive experience leading design thinking workshops, usability testing, contextual inquiries, user interviews, surveys, and ethnography. One of my strengths as a UX researcher is the ability to clarify ambiguity while creating a clear path out of chaos. During my master's in Human-Computer Technology, I worked on various accessibility projects under National Science Foundation (NSF) grant.
I aim to pioneer design as a tool for making human lives better, business more sustainable and the globe much greener! I love doodling, chasing sunsets, and hiking mountains.
