"For those who wondered who or what Shahnanigans is all about?

Hi, I’m Shahwali Shayan (or Shah for short)! I founded Shahanigans to merge my love of interactive design, art and digital marketing.

We started off by building interactive and engaging experiences on social media using Augmented Reality filters. But to help brands engage with their fans even more, we create NFTs and digital collectibles.

As a graduate from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Digital Direction, my research and projects are focused on how we can tell stories through interactive experiences using the latest technology. I am super excited about Web 3.0 and find this transition extremely fascinating. ”
