I’m really happy that you’re here. I’m a user experience researcher based in the San Francisco Bay Area. In other words, I’m an active listener and love learning about people’s stories and passions.

I currently work at BlackLine, helping to make accounting more approachable and sustainable. Previously, I worked at RepairPal, where I got to uncover the challenges car owners face on a daily basis and explore ways to help independent shops and dealerships grow their businesses. I’ve had the opportunity to establish UX Research as a discipline in both my roles as well as mentor junior talent in summer internship programs.

At UC Davis, I studied cognitive science, where I spent a lot of time uncovering how we process information, store and retrieve memories, and form goals and motivations. My curiosity for understanding human behavior turned into my passion, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Outside the industry, I’m a bharatanatyam dancer - dancing through life for as long as I can remember. I also enjoy writing poetry, hiking, and scouting for local coffee shops!

Now that you’ve had the chance to get to know a little bit about me and my story, I’d love to chat and get to know yours! Shoot me a message at shreya.venkatesan@gmail.com or drop a line on linkedin.
