About Shweta Sharma

Product designer with a Masters in HCI from University of Washington and extensive experience crafting high-impact experiences across web, mobile, and AI platforms. I turn ambiguous problems into intuitive, accessible products, leading research, prototyping, and design systems work from early concept through launch.Great design starts with recognizing when the real problem runs deeper than the brief. Bringing together design strategy, visual craft, and systems thinking, that curiosity has shaped my projects: at Vela it turned a design system brief into a full UX strategy lifting conversion by 3%; at Slalom it drove multiple agentic AI concepts to funded builds; at Accenture it meant building foundations that made enterprise products more accessible and scalable for real people. The thread tying these together is always the same: asking why the product exists and who it truly serves.I thrive in cross-functional environments where design quality, systems thinking, and human connection drive the product forward. I think deeply about the sociotechnical effects of the products we build and how they shape people\'s behaviors and the world around them. That\'s why I care about designing products that are not only effective, but ethical, inclusive, and just.Right now I\'m especially drawn to the frontier of AI and emerging platforms, where those values are most tested and most needed. I\'m actively deepening my practice in spatial and immersive interaction design as that next chapter takes shape.
