Shani Nahum is a multidisciplinary designer who integrates graphic design, product design, and textiles into her work. After graduating from the Industrial Design Department at Shenkar College of Art and Design, she worked as a product and graphic designer in various studios, acquiring skills in product development and production processes, as well as gaining an understanding of interior design. This journey led her to pursue a master's degree in Textile Design at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle.

Studies in Germany equipped her with new creative perspectives and tools, but most importantly, they provided her first experience of living abroad. These personal experiences and emotions infuse her everyday creations as she chooses to reflect on the memories and stories from her life in Israel here in Germany.

Alongside this, Shani is driven by the power of color as an influential language, evoking nuanced emotions and actions. In her projects, she strives to incorporate color as an essential element, which is used as a cohesive tool to convey environmental, aesthetic, and functional messages that bring added value and joy.

Shani aims to consistently expand her creative boundaries regarding the materialization of color in diverse design disciplines to influence our contemporary surroundings. She believes that one of the main ways to achieve this is to be in a dynamic work environment that allows continuous learning from the varied knowledge and experiences of different individuals. This, in turn, leads to personal growth and fosters an exchange of ideas on meaningful issues.
