ABOUT ME

SANJANA AT WORK

connecting the dots

Hi, I’m Sanjana Kripalani - a Human who loves curating better experiences for other Humans.

I’m a User Experience Researcher and Designer with a Master of Design in Human-Computer Interaction from the Institute of Design at Illinois Tech, Chicago.

I enjoy tackling complicated and unstructured problems and making sense of them with the help of user research. My strengths lie in ideating within time-boxed, fast-paced environments, and understanding my users using an empathetic lens.

I’m a self starter and fast learner. I have worked across industries like Tech, Art Conservation, F&B and more.

According to my FourSight profile, I’m a Finisher - which means I love developing ideas and implementing them.

SANJANA OFF WORK

Hello there! Welcome to a small corner on my site which is truly me :)

I’m a city girl throughout. I grew up in Mumbai, also called Bombay (in India), and now call Chicago my home.

I’m a daughter, sister, girlfriend, friend, granddaughter, artist, painter, gamer, nature-lover, weight-lifter, TV show-binger, Cocktail-maker, Baker, Board game-lover, Korean-food-lover, self-taught-cook, and more. (not in that order)

I enjoy hosting people for dinners and game nights.

I also love trying out different coffees in my city. So if you’re in Chicago, would like to try a new spot, and would like to talk all things design, hit me up :)
