Hi there! 👋

Hi, I’m Sonali! I grew up in the Bay Area, made a quick stop in London, and eventually found my way back home. With a background in Design and Computer Science, I’ve built a career as a hybrid designer–developer specializing in design systems and accessibility (yes, I’m CPWA-certified).

My career has spanned various industries and team sizes, and I’m most energized by work that combines complex problems with meaningful impact.

When I’m not at work, you’ll find me reading fantasy, doing puzzles, playing RPGs, hunting for sour beer and good noodles, or painting yet another wall in my house (much to my husband’s amusement).
