ABOUT ME

Learn more about my journey, design approach, and me—beyond the screen!

Hey, Priyanka here!

I’m a curious designer who loves turning complex ideas into clean, intuitive experiences—where user joy meets business success.

My journey has been anything but linear. I began by pursuing a postgraduate degree in Computer Applications, where I first discovered a fascination with interface design. This newfound interest led me to take a diploma in multimedia, allowing me to combine my technical skills with a love for creative expression. My career began as a web designer, crafting seamless experiences for the digital world. Over time, I transitioned into UX/UI/Product design, drawing on my background in front-end development to design products that are as functional as they are delightful.

I believe design is a collaborative effort. By combining empathy, precision, and teamwork, I aim to deliver designs that not only solve problems but also elevate experiences for the long term.

03. — Create solutions that delight users while driving business goals.

04. — Embrace feedback and iteration to enhance the experience.

05. — Design for real people, not just an idealized vision.

Outside work

I find inspiration in my garden, where nurturing plants teaches me growth and patience. I also love experimenting in the kitchen, playing strategic games, exploring new places, and indulging in great food.
