I'm Saaniya Shaikh,
a designer with a growth lens.
From humble start ups to big in-house teams to agencies, I've enjoyed walking the tight rope between business and user needs to build impactful products for 12+ years. I was the former Head of Design at The Explanation Company (0-1), focused on building missing tools of internet for kids (company shut down). I previously spent time leading design at Broadsign, Logitech and Fuseproject.
​
I thrive well in a culture where design can influence product direction and absolutely enjoy the whole product thinking, strategy and creation cycle.
​
I believe in the power of habit and balance- 45 mins of daily yoga practice and focused time spent in short sprints keeps me productive!
​
Few other things I really enjoy - Catering to the curious mind of my delightful 5 yr old boy, biking through the beautiful trails of North Vancouver and practising Piano (learning 1 new thing for the year).
​
Nice to meet you 😌
