About me
I am Jaini Shah, I was born in Nairobi, Kenya and came to the Product Design in the UK at Birmingham City University. I am also currently studying a MA in Design management.
These products were created out of a pure love for crafts and nature. Since 2014, I have been gaining experience in learning about different processes in the design industry. This includes knowledge of machines, materials , and process along with the use of CAD programs solid works, auto CAD, sketch up, Photoshop, Indesign and illustrator. Have a look at my work and all that I’ve achieved so far, and follow me now so you don’t miss out on any future creations.
