Shivani Desai

Hey there 👋 I'm Shivani, a curious mind that believes empathy and design can solve anything. From crafting memorable product designs to shaping our communications and brand design, I've been fortunate to be part of

VideoDB⁠

and

Spext’s⁠

journey, right from its humble beginnings. We've transformed video product at its core, from Spext: a no-code haven for organizing, editing, and publishing, to VideoDB: a set of cutting-edge developer solutions for AI-enabled video management and delivery infrastructure – talk about a thrilling ride!

I'm a bit of a people and culture buff. Outside work, I often collaborate with impactful projects in organizations tackling global issues like the refugee crisis, empowering survivors of abuse, and advocating for reformative wellness. Some of my dearest work:

When I'm not wrapped up in design work, I love me some healthy escapes; digital art and photography (consuming Midjourney & Runway projects have been my favourites lately). I'm also somewhat of a language enthusiast – whether it’s movies, music, or literature- I love anything that give me a glimpse of the millions of cultures that surround us. Isn’t it fascinating to reflect on the roots of our existence?

I realise I’m a serial overthinker, so when all of this thinking gets too much, I doodle :) Sometimes, I write:

Listening to people is a skill I deeply value. Those tiny observations often fuel my design ideas in surprising ways. It led me towards building a simple game and creating an archive of invaluable personal conversations; something I hope even more people can do. We could all benefit from some listening:
