I’m Shalvi, a product designer living and working in the Bay Area. The only reason I am willing to pay California taxes is the sun—pure, golden, and entirely worth it. Nothing fills me with more unexplainable joy.

​

I’ve only ever known design. It started with industrial design, then morphed into interaction, and along the way it’s been a joyride of problem-solving, creative pivots, and being the “first designer” everywhere I go. In the 7+ working years I’ve crafted for play, untangled supply chain operations and built an ecosystem for startup founders to grow their ideas. To me, design goes beyond aesthetics—it's a system-driven, impactful, and inclusive philosophy that enriches people's lives.

​

Over the years, I’ve led design at early-stage companies, shaping not just products but entire design functions from the ground up. I’ve worked closely with founders, engineers, and multidisciplinary teams, advocating for users first while aligning with business goals. Whether crafting seamless experiences or navigating complex stakeholder conversations, my approach has always been the same—design with clarity, impact, and the people who use it at the center. Now I’m here, wondering what’s next?
