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. If you have any questions, please get in touch with me on jainishah147@gmail.com
