About Paavan

I’m a designer and design educator. I help a variety of companies create great user experiences for their digital products by combining research with beautiful interface design. And I teach new designers how to do the same.

• I’m currently a product designer at Granola, working on how to make your meetings more calm.
• Previously, I was a senior product designer at Skin + Me, the design lead at Ffern, and a senior product designer at AND Digital.
• I used to perform magic professionally. I still do, but I used to, too.
• I’m interested in gardening, contemporary art, 3d printing, startup culture and writing.
