Hi, I'm Sahaj
Purpose-driven Product & UX/UI Designer, with an MA in Diplomacy and a coffee obsession. Currently at Taking Root, helping people make a living from growing trees 🌳
Behind every pixel...
There's a story and a method to the madness. And at least a few scrapped ideas and coffee.
Lots of coffee.
