Disha Shah
I’m a Brand and Experience Designer working at the intersection of design, business, and technology.
I work across product, brand, and systems — helping turn complex ideas into product experiences people can understand, trust, and adopt easily and at scale. At its core, most of this work is about behaviour: how products shape the way people think and act, and how the systems we design interact with the larger systems organisations already operate within.
Since 2019, I’ve worked with founders and teams across 15+ countries, working closely with engineering and leadership teams to shape experiences that hold up as companies scale.
Much of my work sits around AI/ML, data, and platform-driven products — technically ambitious ideas where design helps translate complexity into clarity and real-world adoption.
Outside of work, I love the mountains, enjoy reading, absolutely hate having my photos taken, and am endlessly curious about business and strategy — friends, mentors, and colleagues often joke I may be in the wrong career as a designer and should probably be building or growing companies instead.
I’ve also been deeply obsessed by the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza. Introduced to it in 2018 and practising it daily since 2021, it’s something I find myself recommending to almost everyone I meet.

Some of my favorite reads
I own 200+ physical books, many more on Kindle, and have donated over 100 over the years. Since I was a kid, I’ve read countless others through physical and digital libraries.
Here are a few that are especially close to my heart.

Great collaboration with Disha! Great experience with reliable communication, fast iteration, and implementing feedback quickly. Thank you for the hard work dedicated to our project!
Alli Minetti, Contra Labs
Working with Disha has always been an outstanding experience. She is my go-to designer for every project that I need help with, and she has helped Bright Studios tremendously.
Daniel G Bright, Founder, Bright Studios
Disha is not only a great designer but a great collaborator! Very pleased with the work and we're already working on another project together.
Adriano Reis, Founder, Ancorpoint Studio
Disha really exceeded our expectations, especially with her enthusiasm and the amount of work she put into her designs. She also added many of her own feature improvements within time & development constraints, which we couldn't have thought of ourselves.
We are very happy with the final result and will be working with Disha for the rest of our project!
Dan Pugsley, Co-founder & CTO, Stealth Ed-tech startup

Clarity is the most underrated design skill — and one that truly defines impactful work. Disha consistently brings this clarity to every engagement.
She distills complex ideas into structured, coherent narratives that strengthen both product positioning and brand perception.
She is a strong asset to any team — thoughtful, capable, and full of long‑term potential.
Founder & CEO, Shweta Labs
Disha is a great designer, she is professional, fast at communicating, and creative. Looking forward to working with her on future projects!
Mason Price, Founder, wenlaunch
Disha has always been great to work with - I’ve invited her for 2 projects already and plan to keep working with her in the future. The work is really high quality, she takes time to truly understand what you want and is a breeze to work with.
Her depth of knowledge is incredible.
