Hello! I'm Kairavi, a design-centered human and human-centered designer.
I create experiences that make people ask:
Why isn't everything this easy?!
Case Studies
Showcases
The Design-Centered Human
Kairavi
“Design is how I make sense of the world.”
“Always be learning.”
Motivated By
Figuring out why things are the way they are and how they work
Seeking new experiences and perspectives
Fixing issues that no one else seems to have noticed and it's going to bother me until I fix it
Collaborating with others and exchanging knowledge
Frustrated By
Decisions made without hearing from users
People who say: That's just how we've always done it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One-size-fits-all solutions
Dark UX patterns and those darn "Accept Cookies" banners
Good At
Thinking in systems, recognizing patterns, making lists and plans
Building a custom spice rack to house my collection of 50+ spices and blends
Knowing which way to turn when emerging from the subway
Can Often Be Found
Crafting something out of wood, clay or whatever's in the fridge
Opening way too many tabs to research that one topic that piqued my interest
Creating a very detailed, color-coded spreadsheet for a three-day trip
Volunteering at the neighborhood tool library
