Hello, I'm Shaziya

– a human-centered product designer who believes great design solves real problems and sparks connection.

With 15+ years of experience, I turn complex challenges into clean, intuitive experiences that feel just as good as they function. Whether I’m building scalable systems, running research workshops, or aligning teams around a shared UX vision—I bring imagination, empathy, and structure to everything I touch.

 

I’ve led impactful design work across global teams at Bandwidth, IDBS, ION, and Arkadin—always putting people first and making complexity feel effortless.

I’m big on accessibility, design systems, and meaningful innovation (with a soft spot for AI, culture, and community-building). Oh, and I make playlists and playlists of ideas.

 

Let’s make something purposeful, together.
