What colleagues say about me! 
I was lucky enough to work with Snehal on a semester-long co-design project during our time together as graduate students at the Institute of Design, and I highly recommend Snehal for any design strategy or research role. Snehal has an amazing ability to conduct effective secondary and primary research and then synthesize the data in ways that generate actionable strategies. Our team benefited tremendously from her leadership. Moreover, Snehal's combination of humility, generosity, and collaborative orientation make her a true pleasure to work with. Any team would be fortunate to have Snehal as a member, and I am so appreciative that I had the opportunity to work with and learn from her.

Snehal (v). 

Research-driven strategic designer

I practice User research, Service design, and Physical Experience Design, 
specializing in bridging the gap between research insights and actionable solutions. With a Human-Centered Design approach, I create meaningful, innovative experiences that align with both user needs and business goals.

With a background in Architecture, I design cohesive experiences across both physical and digital touchpoints.

 

My training has taught me how to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and bring complex ideas to life. I'm passionate about transforming insights into impactful designs that resonate with users and drive success

As a design researcher, I uncover insights into user needs, behaviors, and motivations to guide design decisions. I use methods like interviews, usability tests, and surveys to gather data that translates into actionable strategies, ensuring products and services are user-centered and effective.
