About Me
My name is Shivan Kannan
I’m a Certified Usability Analyst (CUA)™ by Human Factors International (HFI) who is passionate about creating engaging and responsive end user experiences on web and mobile platforms.
I’m constantly learning new things everyday and enjoy networking with design professionals. Learning through sharing has always worked best for me and a strong believer of interest driven hard work.
I currently lead the Design Community at Interaction Design Foundation (IDF) in Chennai – mentoring and spearheading one of Chennai’s largest and growing design community with nearly 600 design professionals.
With a background as a Computer Science Engineer and a gold medalist during my Masters in Design, I’ve been blending both worlds as a creative professional for nearly two decades. My work experience in Interaction Design includes sketching wireframes, building interactive prototypes, mocks and designing user interfaces with focus on User Centered Design (UCD) & usability principles. I’m highly passionate in building enhanced user experiences by constantly advocating for the user.
I’ve helped and guided several startups and companies in establishing their brand, corporate identity with logo, brochures, flyers, business cards, labels, sign boards, standees, email newsletters, infographics for digital marketing and similar.
