Hello, I'm Saina Siri, an industrial product designer based in New York. Driven by a passion for facilitating change, I am eager to explore the endless opportunities the world offers. As a young designer, I am committed to continuous learning and creating with the goal of achieving efficient yet simple solutions.

My design approach is an attempt to address one question: "How might we rethink design methodologies to minimise new production and shift the focus to the relevance of products in reusing, reclaiming, and repairing materials that already exist?"

Beyond my professional life, I am deeply passionate about climate justice and aspire to make a positive impact through my work. I enjoy street photography, and in my free time, I immerse myself in learning new skills such as baking, coding, and hiking. These diverse interests not only fuel my creativity but also inspire me to contribute meaningfully to a rethought future.
