Bushra Farooqui

Hi, I’m Bushra! I live in San Francisco, and I’m a Senior Product Manager currently on a mini-sabbatical. Previously, I worked in Product at Peerspace spanning Internationalization, Host Tools, and Compliance, and at Airtime, where I lead the Web product with a focus on enabling connection and friendship over co-watching experiences.

Making beautiful things is close to my heart. Besides considering the changing virtual landscape of social, identity, and spaces, I also love looking at interfaces from a Christopher Alexander-feeling perspective, with an eye toward warmth, vitality, rootedness as a harmonious holding environment. I like people, spaces, and ideas that invite kindness, thoughtfulness, and a creative nourishment that facilitates transformation as byproducts.

If I could only keep one object with me, it would be my copy of Stephenson’s The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer
