hi, i'm shalini!

I'm a third-year student at UC Santa Cruz studying Technology & Information Management and Computer Science. My interests lie at the intersection of interactive technology, product design, and data, and I enjoy building tools that are grounded in both technical thinking and user experience.

I'm especially drawn to creating experiences that feel intuitive and useful, and to turning ideas into things people can actually connect with.

In my free time, I love being outdoors at the beach, playing guitar, going to concerts, and collecting smiskis!
