Hi, I'm Shubhangi Handa, a UX researcher and designer passionate about turning research into solutions people love to use. I enjoy conducting user interviews, usability testing, and competitive analysis to uncover insights that inform product strategy and create delightful experiences. Currently pursuing my MS in Information Management with a focus on UX at the University of Washington, I combine design systems, wireframes, and prototypes (Figma, Miro) with hands-on research to drive measurable improvements across digital products. I thrive in collaborative environments and love turning messy data into clear, user-centered design decisions.
