Hi, I'm Syashi 👋
I’m a Bay Area based Experience Designer and Design technologist with 8+ years of experience creating AI-powered products that are smart, scalable, and human-centered.
At SAP, I design AI patterns for handoff from LLM assistant to embedded screens, for complex enterprise workflows, making advanced tools feel intuitive and accessible. Previously at Adobe, I shaped flagship generative features like Remove, Object Selection, and Generate Background for Photoshop and Lightroom, reimagining how creatives work with AI.
My strength is bridging complex technology and real user needs through collaborative design, vision sprints, and ethical, explainable AI workflows. With roots in both Computer Science and Design, I stay close to AI research, prototype new ideas, and ground my work in user insights.
Writing for Journals and Design research
I write about my design tool adventures, workflow hacks, and the exciting world of AI-powered design.

Syashi is a joy to work with—dedicated, thoughtful, innovative. While in grad school, she led a team to design a fantastic healthcare data platform in collaboration with IBM. From day one, Syashi's interest in A.I. informed her work. She thought deeply about how interfaces might leverage A.I. affordances to benefit users in a variety of scenarios from healthcare to creative practice. I highly recommend her!

Sakshi is a joy to work with. She is earnest, hard-working, and has a delightful personality. I mentored Sakshi on an ambitious UX research project during her internship at WEX. She takes direction very well but also is not afraid to speak her mind and is a self-starter, coming up with solutions and ideas and going above and beyond what is asked of her. Although her background is in UX design, she dove into UX research boldly and with skill. Her deliverables are excellent and her presentation style is friendly and compelling. I'd recommend Sakshi without hesitation.

"Shout-out to @Syashi Gupta for putting in the work to build your vibe-coding skills and using them to prototype some of our earliest Mixer concepts. I’m excited about the potential this has to spark stronger user feedback and tighter collaboration with our tech partners.
Thank you for sharing what you’re learning. It’s fun to explore the links you’re sharing in Slack. And the vibe coding exercise we did as a team was a fun opportunity to do hands-on learning."
-Design Lead, AI Design systems team, SAP
