Lorem Ipsum...
Hi! I am Sahaana - nice to meet you :)
(a.k.a the girl with the red box)
Junior Designer based in the Midlands, driven by a curiosity for how people feel and how design can quietly support them. Design has always been the place where that instinct makes sense, bringing me back to a younger version of myself, curious, playful, and constantly making things without worrying whether they were perfect, only whether they meant something.
I founded The Break-In Kit, a physical toolkit designed to support creative students navigating the messy jump from university to industry. It brings together two parts of me that have always been connected, empathy and intentional design. Helping someone feel understood, steadier, or less alone is the kind of impact that matters to me far more than aesthetics on their own.
Design has also shaped how I collaborate and find direction. I naturally gravitate toward creating clarity and keeping processes human, whether I’m shaping ideas independently or helping teams move toward a shared direction. That mindset sits at the core of my practice, grounding my work in care, thoughtfulness, and intention.
