Product Design, Physical and Digital

Design that begins

from a real human need.

I’m Shakthi Elangovan, a product designer working across industrial design and UX. My practice starts with observation: the work people do, the emotions they carry, and the details that determine whether something earns trust. Form and craft are important, but only after a useful purpose is clear.

Empathy driven design across physical products and digital experiences, from concept sketching and user research through prototyping, fabrication, and craft.
