Hello, I’m Vishal Shendre - A Designer Human,I crafts experience like mocha with some creativity, logic and right amoutn of innovation.

I believe design has the power to solve problems, shape stories, and build meaningful connections. Then let’s build something that matters.

The unfiltered me

Unexpected paths to my design life.

I’m a User Experience Designer with over 4+ years of experience designing 0→1 products and driving impact across multiple stages of the product lifecycle.

For me, design is more than visuals, it’s how we solve real human problems. I see UX as a bridge between empathy and technology, where every interaction tells a story and every detail matters.

~ Journey to Design

Originally started out as an engineer, focused on building things from the ground up but over time, I became increasingly drawn to the way people feel when they interact with what I create.
Currrently based in New York, I find inspiration everywhere from the energy of the city to the quiet moments I spend sketching ideas or observing how people interact with everyday tools.
When I'm not designing, you can find me exploring new cuisines, meticulously perfecting my coffee brewing skills, or seeking peaceful escapes from the city's fast-paced rhythm. These personal pursuits fuel my curiosity and creativity, often influencing how I approach design challenges.
Fun Fact: I've been swimming since I was 7 years old. Always diving headfirst into life's adventures.

Me in a nutshell

The authentic version of myself.

Always on a move...

It’s something I can’t get enough of after design.

Always plugged on.

I love music, it helps me relax.

My spin on design

My typical approach to getting things done.

Together, We’re Better

Being in the dark is no fun, so I make sure everyone’s in the loop. And hey, I’m not shy about asking for help when I need it.

Fueled by Feedback

Every nugget of wisdom makes my designs sparkle, and I'm totally here for soaking up fresh ideas and feedbacks.

Inclusive Design for All

Inclusivity and accessibility aren't just extras. They're for everyone, and if it's not smooth and easy for all, it's not finished!

Design Inspirations

Nobody likes being left in the dark ( it’s spooky there ). I love keeping everyone in the loop and don’t shy away from raising my hand for help when I need it.
