Hello!

My name is Siriveena - you can call me Siri for short!

I’m a product designer passionate about creating meaningful, user-centered experiences that solve real-world challenges. Currently, I design at Accenture Federal Services, where I help transform and modernize major federal platforms that serve over 40 million users.

I have always been inspired by people and their stories.

My love for human-centered narratives led me to obtain a degree in psychology. I've always been intrigued by the nuances of human behavior and how even the subtlest of changes could have the biggest impact on one’s being. 

As an undergraduate research assistant, I learned to draw qualitative insights from large pools of quantitative data and understand the complexities of experimental design. Though I did not know it at the time, I often approached these challenges with a design mindset, empathizing with target groups and applying research methodologies to address population-specific problems. Although I enjoyed the analytical, research-driven aspects of my college experience, I also craved the creativity and expression found in the arts. This desire to combine both led me to UX design - a space that blends critical thinking with artistic expression.

I have since earned my Master's in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University and designed solutions for a diverse portfolio of startups, nonprofits, enterprises, and government organizations. Working in agile environments has strengthened my ability to apply user-centered design principles to solve complex business challenges, as well as driven my growth as both a designer and researcher.

When I’m not designing, you can find me making some sort of art, reading novels, or eating too much bread.

I’d love to hear your story! ‍
