Bio
Antony Churchill
I worked with Shivani for over a year across a variety of projects at Kuato, including internal IPs and external work for clients such as Disney. As a designer, Shivani brings passionate, focused attention to the creative process, with an excellent eye for detail. She has a true talent not only for identifying improvable points in projects but also finding meaningful solutions to help solve them. As a programmer she is a pleasure to work with, both for her positive energy and enthusiasm, and for her meticulous approach that answers many of the harder questions before they need to be asked. I would recommend her for any company looking for a designer who can bring real improvement to a design or prototype.

Shivani has an amazing ability to bring an idea into reality with her dedication, hard work and pin-point attention to detail. She is someone I can always trust to have thought ideas out down to the last inch. Her drive and brilliant communication skills in difficult situations makes working with her on a project an absolute pleasure. It has been a great time working with her on the ScoobyDoo mobile game; she was able to build strong foundations for the project that proved absolutely vital to the success of the project and continued to diligently support and carry it to its conclusion. It was always a smooth sailing and productive time collaborating with her to create the art elements and was able to direct that process with consise communication, and her talent in thinking outside of the box always brought fresh and exciting ideas to work with. I would absolutely recommend Shivani to anyone looking for a resilient, smart, and detail-oriented games designer. And truley hope to work with her again in the future.
