e Hello!

Hi! I'm Shaleila

👋🏽 Nice to meet you!

I'm currently a Consultant at Oliver Wyman, and was recently a UX Researcher at UCL's Interaction Center in London. A Master's in Human-Computer Interaction Master's from UCL brought me to the city. Previously, I was a Product Manager at The Atlantic. I'm based in London, by way of Mumbai, Singapore, Chicago, Washington D.C., and a few other stops along the way! I'm a creative at heart and love to design, create, and optimize. Design thinking, people-centric strategy, and the clever use of digital media fascinate me.

I also make music in my free time, and keep up with the latest in cinema - give my podcast a listen! Talk to me about FC Barcelona, K-Pop history, performing sketch comedy, or concerts.
