About me

ShabnamRaghavan.

Interdisciplinary thinker, occasional over-thinker. Obsessed with people, art, culture, and the stories that connect them — by day I turn that curiosity into healthcare products.

In one word

If forced to choose

Ambivert.

Talkative enough to turn a casual hello into a three-hour conversation about human nature, folk art or why cities feel the way they do. But also completely happy on a long train ride, window seat, just watching the world move.

Who am I

I am an aftermath — of places I've been, things I picked up, people I met, stories I heard — and songs I absolutely danced to.

"If I could have a superpower, it'd be getting inside people's minds — feeling the world through their experiences. To be a traveller, moving from mind to mind."

— probably why I ended up in UX

What makes me tick

I am drawn to people — their minds, their stories, their art.

Art & culture

Theyyam, folk traditions, contemporary art — I'm drawn to the things people make to express what words can't hold.

Human behaviour

I read psychology and mythology the way other people scroll feeds. Obsessively. From the inside out.

People & stories

The best conversations go long and go everywhere. I collect people, their experiences, and the small details that make a life.

The real stuff

Three cats,
good parties,
and a lot of thinking.

Cats

Three of them. They run the household. I am just staff.

◎

Music

House music is a whole personality trait. No apologies.

⌬

Reading

Psychology and human behaviour. From the inside out, obsessively.

✈

Travel

For art, folk traditions, and the culture that still carries memory.

◷

Trains

Long rides, general compartment, window seat. Thinking about everything.

✿

People

The person who makes a party worth staying at. Outspoken, warm, a little blunt.

05 · Favourite colour

Red.

Mystical. Powerful. Feminine — like Shakti. I grew up watching Theyyam, a folk-art from Kerala where red isn't just a colour — it's a presence. A force.

That's why I call myself Studio Red Gal.

"Red for me associates to spirituality — I grew up watching Theyyam."
