About me
Hey, I’m Saili Kadam.
Born and raised in the bustling heart of Mumbai, I’m always on the move—whether I’m racing down a cricket field or pausing on a rooftop to capture the most beautiful sunset. Living with Type 1 diabetes has taught me to plan ahead and embrace every moment, and I’m forever chasing the next great adventure.

How design?
How design?
I am a IT engineer by degree and an artist at heart. I discovered my passion for design during my third year of engineering college, when a senior introduced me to UI/UX. I discovered that crafting simple, user-friendly experiences excites me far more than writing code. So I turned down a high-paying software role and dove into six months of self-taught design. That journey led to my first UI internship and since then I have delved deeper into the field of design. A pivotal moment in my career was when I stepped into my dream role as a full-time UX designer at a startup, learning from seasoned pros and tackling real-world challenges every day.
