Hello! My name is Shawn Vasandani; I'm originally from the west coast and currently live in NYC. I believe in user research designed into a lean or agile process, prototyping to see how people naturally use the product, and pairing human-centered design with business strategy.
I am curious about other creative processes and enjoy learning new skills that allow me to look at problems through a different lens.
Here's a quick summary:
I have nine years of design experience, working my way from the trenches to starting my own company and becoming a Senior Product Designer.
I have eight years of experience in product and design in the following industries: e-commerce, advertising, media, software, and sports.
Currently, I’m at Bleacher Report launching new mobile app experiences.
Previously, I was at Bonobos, creating a more effortless shopping experience. Before that, I was at Verizon, where I helped improve the digital commerce experience for the wireless and enterprise parts of the business. Prior, I was at Complex Networks, where I helped redesign a few websites, build chatbots, and create a first-to-market video platform called Shuffle.
Also, I was part of a small team that launched Uber in Southern California and designed an application that allowed the company to scale multiple products in several cities rapidly.
I’m more than happy to connect and talk design, product, or creative strategy - shawn.vasandani@gmail.com
