Hello , I'm Sridevi
I am a UX designer based in the Bay Area who is dedicated to enhancing user experience through the art of storytelling, pragmatic problem solving, and empathetic listening
I have been developing software applications throughout my career at companies such as Abbott, Kratos Defense, and Merrill Lynch. While doing so, I developed an interest to understand UX experience and design. I am now on a new journey to explore this passion!
I enjoy solving user-centric UI design challenges and problems. My strengths lie in my strong communication skills, observational skills, thirst for learning, and being a team player.
I am a good listener and believe analyzing the problem from the user’s perspective helps to empathize with the user. I believe it’s important to know people at a deeper level and recognize the “why” behind their decisions in order to effectively understand their needs. There are always multiple ways to solve a problem but giving the most feasible solution is most important. My motto: “Design simple with significance”.

Inventory Tracking - Zero Waste
“Smart Pantry” allows users to scan a QR code on grocery store receipts and build a virtual pantry to mimic the pantry/fridge at home, serving as a virtual assistant for inventory maintenance. The user will be able to customize alert notifications so they’re up-to-date with the products they have and the items they may need.
The overall goal is to reduce the amount of food , money, and time wastage that occur in periodical grocery trips and errand runs.
