Shichi Upadhyay - Product Designer

About Me

Aka Shichi (शिचि), or @theuncannynecromancy.

Product Designer with an M.S. in Human-Computer Interaction, currently embedded full-time at Quantum Capital Group as their sole Product Designer - building systems, shipping products, and occasionally writing front-end code.

In short, a chaos-born, curiosity-fueled designer who chases stories as if they'd disappear.

She designs like she's painting whispers, observes like a detective, and adds drama like a younger sibling with no chill. Currently decoding the human experience: pixel by pixel, story by story.
