Sayali Zawar — Co-Founder

🔸 Meet Sayali: UX Leader, Educator, and Entrepreneur at heart. Sayali's journey in design began early. At 13, she bought handmade jewelry, redesigned its packaging, and resold it to classmates for double the cost—a small venture that sparked a big realization. She discovered that design could shape experiences, influence decision-making, and create lasting value. This early insight laid the foundation for her career in user experience, where she is dedicated to crafting solutions that meet real-world needs and elevate customer satisfaction. A graduate of Design School and a certified specialist from Human Factors International (HFI), Sayali blends creative insight with analytical depth. She specializes in UX Research, Interaction Design, Usability, and PET (Persuasion, Emotion, Trust) Analysis, helping teams create experiences that are both user-centered and business-focused. Currently based in Ireland, Sayali works as a UX Researcher at Boylesports, where she focuses on enhancing digital engagement in the fast-paced betting industry. Alongside her professional role, she continues to explore product design and innovation—most recently through a side venture in SaaS. Her experience as a mentor with HFI has honed her strengths in leadership, strategic communication, and inspiring cross-functional teams. She’s deeply passionate about empowering designers, fostering innovation, and translating research into results. Sayali is especially interested in opportunities where UX can drive growth, whether in established businesses or emerging ideas. Let’s connect—she’s always up for thoughtful collaboration, mentoring, and conversations that lead to meaningful design.
