Available to hire
Hi, I’m Shivangi Dwivedi, a senior and product development designer with over a decade of experience in textiles, rugs, and home furnishing. I specialize in turning market trends into cohesive collections, managing cross-functional teams of designers, weavers, and production partners, and delivering on-time, quality-driven outcomes. I love crafting mood boards, color stories, CADs, and digital mockups to present compelling concepts to buyers, while ensuring practical manufacturability and vendor coordination.
Outside the studio, I enjoy exploring traditional crafts like handloom and embroidery and translating them into modern, market-ready products. I’m committed to sustainability and collaborative problem-solving, and I bring a proactive, detail-oriented approach to every project.
