Hey, I'm Sahvanna!

I am passionate on creating a positive impact through design and transforming products that work flawlessly. The motivation that gets me going is the challenges I face and coming up with new solutions to improve products, and make it accessible to everyone. This allows me to expand my horizons and explore other methodologies and techniques. Whilst, helping businesses reach their goals and building close rapports with them.

Besides work, I'm an avid traveler, I enjoy baking, yoga and participate in animal volunteering/conservation.
