Meet Abhishta

Abhishta Lalwani

I'm a designer, problem solver & lifelong learner.

As a five-year-old, I told stories with finger paint on my bedroom walls. Today, I tell them through products, services, and experiences, backed by research instead of paint stains.

To me, design is about making a positive impact and helping people feel empowered. My craft sits at the intersection of visual storytelling and systems thinking, spanning projects across mobility, healthcare, education, and enterprise systems. Over the past five years, my work has evolved across product design, UX research, and design systems, alongside a growing interest in learning design and AI-powered workflows.

No matter the medium, I always return to the same question:

“How can we make this simpler, more meaningful, and more human?”

Outside of work, you'll probably find me at a jazz dance class, wandering through local markets, reorganising my Notion dashboard for the 87th time, or convincing myself I can master the saxophone despite never having played a proper instrument.

Things I love

  • Creating products with real-world impact
  • Learning new skills (down another rabbit hole)
  • Chasing those “aha!” moments
  • Collecting multiple hobbies
  • Cats (especially mine)
  • A really good thrift find

Milestones along the way

  • 2024 Social Innovation Award, RMIT MDIT
  • 2021 Stand-out Performer Award, Jio Platforms
  • Moving to Australia to pursue my Master's and start a new chapter
