Selected Work
A handful of projects where I got to untangle hard problems and ship solutions that actually made a difference.
Conducted secondary research that pivoted NestAid from a B2C caregiving marketplace to a B2B AI operations platform — powered by Nessa, an AI agent that automates scheduling and workforce management for caregiving agencies.
Led UX research and design of an AI-powered academic resource app integrating Canvas and library systems. Validated through 12 interviews and 3 pretotyping experiments.
Boosted consistency in mental well-being practices by helping students build and sustain stress-management habits through a structured, low-friction experience.
Minimized support queries and increased user confidence by making product functionality instantly understandable through an interactive virtual clock within a streamlined e-commerce experience.
About Me
I'm a Product Designer focused on designing thoughtful digital experiences that solve real problems. I began my journey in UX design and naturally grew into product design as I became more involved in shaping not just interfaces, but the strategy, structure, and outcomes of the products themselves.
I enjoy working on AI/ML products, consumer applications, and early-stage (0→1) products, where design plays a key role in turning complex ideas into intuitive experiences. My approach combines rapid prototyping, continuous iteration, and data-informed decision making. I take end-to-end ownership of the design process, from understanding user needs to delivering implementation-ready solutions.
I work closely with product managers to shape product direction and partner with engineers to ensure designs translate smoothly into shipped products. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, cycling around the city, and attending networking events to meet and learn from people across the design and tech community.
Skills & Tools
The tools and methods I reach for across every stage of the design process — from first discovery call to final handoff.

Testimonials
Kind words from the people I have had the pleasure of working and learning alongside.
Beyond their technical proficiency, Sweta possesses a rare, innate empathy that transforms complex research into deeply human experiences. They were a standout, consistently balancing disciplined design process with a heart for the end-user.
Neil Harner
Design Director, Inverse Paradox
Sweta consistently demonstrated strong engagement, initiative, and a deep commitment to mastering the full design process. Her standout work included a Wizard of Oz experiment that simulated autonomous monitoring — so effective that I've since shared it as an example with other students. Sweta takes on complex challenges with confidence and care, and I highly recommend her to any design team seeking a designer who is both strategic and technically strong.
Mike Begley
Senior Experience Consultant, EPAM Systems
She has a knack for quickly understanding client needs and translating them into clear, actionable designs while keeping the team aligned. Her focus, energy, and problem-solving mindset make her a joy to collaborate with. Sweta is also a powerhouse when it comes to innovation — one of the few on the team fully leveraging cutting-edge AI design tools. I would strongly recommend her for any UX or product design role that values creativity, deep understanding, and forward-thinking solutions.
