My Framer Site

Hello,

I'm Shreya!

I read people.

I collect stories.

I notice the little things.

A little about me

I’ve been a curious kid for as long as I can remember.

The kind who asked too many questions. The kind who didn’t always get answers. So I just started finding them myself.

My parents would buy me toys and find them in ten pieces the next day. Not broken. Just… understood.

01

I found a matchbox I wasn’t allowed to touch. So I lit one. I hadn’t really planned the “what next” part — panicked, threw it away. A small part of the house caught fire.

02

I mixed 2 kilos of flour into 10 kilos of rice just because the flour disappeared into it and I wanted to see where it went.

03

The list is long.

But that instinct never really left.

I still like taking things apart. Understanding how they work. Making sense of them. Putting them back together in a way that feels simpler, clearer, better. Somewhere along the way, that curiosity shifted from things to people.

How they think, why they make the choices they do, what they don’t say out loud.

And eventually, that curiosity started showing up in the work I do.

Moments that stayed with me

Talking about product × design at BITSoM

I recently spoke as a guest lecturer for product management cohorts at BITSoM. I took three sessions, each with around 600–700 students, talking about what working with designers actually looks like in the real world.

We got into things like what we as designers expect from product owners, and how design and product teams actually collaborate — sharing the why and not just the what, giving feedback that helps, involving design early, and trusting designers as user advocates rather than just the people who “make things look good.”

I also walked them through Figma and Figma Make — not just as tools to learn, but as ways to think, communicate, and express ideas more clearly.

One thing I kept coming back to:
great products aren’t built in silos.
they come together when product, design, and business actually work as one team.

Holding space for people

I’ve co-hosted an open mental health workshop where strangers walked in, sat in a room together, doodled their emotions, moved around, talked, and slowly started opening up.

It’s a slightly strange format at first. No one really knows what to expect. But something shifts once people settle in.

You see people go from being guarded to just… being themselves.

As a host, I learned to trust my instincts a lot more - when to step in, when to stay quiet, and how to make space for people without trying to fix everything.
