Hey there,
lovely to meet you!
I'm Shashi, a passionate educator, instructional designer, and technical trainer based in the dynamic city of Toronto, Canada.
​
Imagine this: a blend of innovation, a splash of technical expertise, and a whole lot of enthusiasm for making learning engaging and effective—yep, that's me! 😊
So, here's the scoop about me: As a Marketing & Digital Media Instructor, I am shaping the next generation of designers and marketers at a top career college right here in Toronto. But beyond the classroom, I’m also an experienced instructional designer and trainer who specializes in creating personalized, data-driven, and interactive learning experiences. Whether it’s crafting training materials, guiding learners through technical tools, or conducting hands-on workshops, I’m dedicated to making complex concepts simple and accessible for everyone.
Quantifiable Expertise & Diverse Experience
With a master’s degree in Computer Science and a bachelor’s in Information Technology, my foundation is deeply rooted in understanding technical systems and leveraging them to solve real-world problems. But my passion for teaching and connecting with learners led me to the world of education, where I combine my technical expertise with innovative instructional strategies to create impactful learning experiences.
​
I’ve also honed my analytical skills with a Higher Diploma in Banking and Financial Management, which helps me bring a data-driven approach to every aspect of my work. Whether it's analyzing learner feedback or aligning training strategies with organizational goals, I believe in the power of insights to fuel both education and growth.
My passion for data analysis extends into the world of design. I believe data is a powerful tool that can inform design decisions and ensure your visuals are not just aesthetically pleasing, but also strategically placed to drive results. Think of data as my design compass, guiding me towards solutions that resonate with your target audience and achieve your design goals.
My Design Approach?
Let me share a little secret with you: It's all about the data.
Yep, you heard that right. I believe in the power of insights to fuel creativity and create designs that not only look amazing but also deliver results. By diving deep into analytics, understanding user behaviors, and deciphering market trends, I ensure that every design decision is backed by solid data.
This approach isn't just a hunch—it's proven. In fact, designs crafted with a data-informed approach have been shown to increase engagement and conversion rates, turning clicks into conversions and viewers into loyal customers. So, when you work with me, you're not just getting a pretty picture—you're getting a design strategy rooted in success.
​
Alright, imagine this: You're in the driver's seat of your design project, right? Now, picture this: data-informed design is like having a trusty GPS guiding you along the way. Instead of just winging it, you're using real insights to steer your creative decisions. It's all about asking "Why" and letting the data be your co-pilot.
​
In a nutshell, data-informed design isn't just about making things look pretty—it's about making them work smarter. So buckle up, grab your data goggles, and let's navigate this design journey together!

What makes my design approach truly unique?
It's all about forging those genuine connections. When I team up with clients, it's not just about ticking off tasks; it's about diving deep into who they are. For you, it's going to be like having a design buddy who's genuinely invested in capturing your essence.
So, let's get real for a sec. I'm not just here to slap together some graphics, send you a few PowerPoint presentations as learning materials, and call it a day. Nope, I'm on a mission to uncover your pain-points, your or your team's learning style—heck, even your quirks! Because here's the thing: when what you learn reflects your true self, that's when the sparks fly. It's about more than just training; it's about infusing your personality into every new thing you learn.
