Not your ordinary shape-drawing designer.

My name is Shan Hannadige - I'm from sunny California, now based in Chicago, "The Windy City".

I'm fueled by a passion for systems thinking - looking into a problem space and identifying relationships to determine a solution. I've found a career footing in product design by providing meaningful, accessible, and sustainable experiences to users existing in such unique systems.

I have over 4 years of expertise researching problems and identifying solutions for startups and large organizations. I deliver analytical and ethnographic observations that inform elegant design solutions and bring together all structures of the team to influence product decisions.

When I'm not designing, I'm playing basketball at the park, building Legos, recording videos, or anything else that exercises my creativity. Check out my sandbox - it's my online sanctuary for experimenting and self-growth.
