About

👋🏼 Hi there! I'm Saifali, an imaginative & collaborative UX/Product Designer with experience delivering high-fidelity wireframes & interactive prototypes, concurrently balancing responsibilities, and contributing to 3 startups in various industries to build experience. 💼 With my recent MS IDS at Northwestern, I seek a new opportunity where I can help solve problems together, learn more about product development, and create experiences that have a positive impact on people and society. 🎨 Outside of work, you'll find me drawing, painting, playing piano, and being an avid sports fan!
