Hello!

I’m Nargis Shaikh (she/her), a software engineer and graphic designer from India, now an MDes (Interaction) student here at Emily Carr University. 😊

I’m interested in exploring XR technologies & my work so far investigates ways to facilitate the transition of traditional art for contemporary adaptations. ✨
