My name is Mishti. I'm passionate about socially impactful research and design. Previously, I worked with the Seattle Department of Transportation to improve their Transit Safety Experience.

As an avid yoga and meditation practitioner (with 200 hours in training), I strive to bring intentionality both to my work and my personal life. I believe in the philosophy of ahimsa, which in yoga is a practice of compassion and empathy. I bring this mindset to my design practice to create equitable solutions. I value a community-centered problem solving approach that is rooted in participatory design thinking.
