Product design student, chasing music and new ideas — this is where I keep what I'm learning, making, and listening to.
About
Hi, I'm Sakshi — a product design student figuring out how to turn ideas into things people actually want to use. Outside of design, I'm usually deep in a playlist, journaling about whatever I just learned, or picking up a new hobby. This site is my running notebook: part portfolio, part diary, growing as I do.
Product Design
An app concept helping students plan meals around dining hall menus and budgets.
A component library and UI kit for a peer study-matching platform.
A visual refresh and usability pass on a habit-tracking app.
Journal
"Why I stopped over-designing my first drafts" — sketching ugly first, and letting the third version be the pretty one.
"Midterms, sketchbooks, and learning to slow down" — what a rough critique week taught me about pacing myself.
"A running list of small good things" — a coffee shop playlist, a good pen, and a walk with no destination.
Music
Hobbies & Activities
Every project starts as a messy sketch before it becomes anything digital — thumbnails and doodles in the margins of notebooks.
Mostly phone photography — light through a window, an odd shadow, a color combo worth remembering for a future project.
There's a bit of design thinking in a recipe too — measuring, testing, and iterating until it's right.
New cities are basically UX research trips — how people move through a space, what signage actually works.
A rotating stack of design books, fiction, and whatever a friend recommended last — notes go straight into the journal.
Hunting for one good piece beats buying five new ones — half the fun is not knowing what you'll find.
