USHI Patel

Ushi Patel is a designer, brand expert, speaker, and co-host of The Phoenix podcast. Her model empowers ambitious changemakers to design a brand that is both true to who they are and resonant with their audience, so they can make their mark doing work that lights them up.

Her portfolio includes leaders in Fortune 500 companies and at the helm of social movements, as well as owners of small but mighty mom-and-pop shops, startups, experts, and investors. While each client is different, what is common is an unconventional method that disrupts the status quo.

Her multicultural approach and heartfelt visual storytelling have inspired clients to utilize her design talent and eye for their homes, events, and weddings, in addition to the creative direction and mentorship she provides for their brands.

Never able to contain her creativity to just one avenue, Ushi wrote and published Benjamin Franklin award-winning poetry. In 2016, she gave a TEDx Talk about how to stay true to who you are. She was recently recognized by L.A. Style Magazine as part of their 2023 Most Influential lineup.

Ushi is a graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology, where she received her MBA and was an NCAA All-American Volleyball Player and the 1999 NCAA Academic All-American national player of the year.

You'll find Ushi, her husband John, and her little rascals, Rayam and Nikhil (Niko), in Austin, Texas, soaking up the sun and beautiful energy.
