Profile: https://flows.cv/shambhaviphule

I’m Shambhavi Phule, a Product Designer who thrives at the intersection of AI, usability, which drives meaningful business impact. With 3+ years of experience across Enterprise, SaaS, and startup environments, I’ve worked end-to-end on both web and mobile based products from research and strategy to prototyping, interaction design, and scalable design systems.

I approach problems by zooming out to understand the system, identifying what truly matters, and designing solutions that balance user needs with product and business outcomes. I’m drawn to challenges that require depth, clarity, and thoughtful decision-making.

I’m especially excited about opportunities that push my thinking at the intersection of AI, human-centered design, and product vision. If you’re building something ambitious, I’d love to connect!
