I'm Saanvi, a product designer and strategist studying Physics and Electronics & Communication Engineering at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad. My core focus is product: understanding human friction, framing problems, and figuring out what to build (and just as importantly, what not to build). :)

In my free time, I love falling down rabbit holes reading about cognitive psychology and neuroscience. I don't study it formally, but reading about how our brains process information, form habits, and respond to friction gives me a subtle framework for human decision-making. It helps me approach product design around how people actually behave, rather than how we hope they will. ;P

My background in Physics and ECE gives me a distinct advantage in how I approach product problems. Physics trained me to think from first principles: stripping away assumptions until you hit the core truth of what you're trying to solve. ECE gave me a deep comfort with complex systems, technical constraints, and trade-offs. Having that technical foundation means I can speak the same language as engineering teams, evaluate feasibility early, and build product experiences that respect how the underlying technology actually works.

I like getting into the details of how a system works before jumping into the interface. Sometimes that means simplifying a user flow down to its absolute essentials; sometimes it means balancing feature depth against cognitive load; and sometimes it just means asking why something was built that way in the first place. :-)

That's what I enjoy most about product. It's never just one variable to figure out: it's the challenge of holding human behaviour, technical constraints, and strategic trade-offs in your head all at once, and building something clean that makes total sense to the person on the other side of the screen.
