About

Hi!

I’m Jill Aneri Shah, a product designer and teacher. I’m very passionate about the work that I do every day.

After graduating from the Human-Centered Design and Engineering program at the University of Washington in Seattle, with a concentration in Human-Computer Interaction, I worked with:

Microsoft’s Human Factors Lab & Accessories Team as a User Researcher
Political Tech Consultant with PowerThePolls.org through Trestle
Lecturer at the University of Washington teaching Intro to Technical Communication.

I love making products and understanding people, and I've spent the past year learning Interaction Design at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design to develop my skills in rapid prototyping and storytelling.
