Hello, I'm Geetha Priya

Rhymes with Cheetah Free-Yeah

I'm a passionate design advocate, technology enabler, user - centric maniac and a problem solver. I designed & built diverse products for 4+ yrs to empower people in the digital world.

How I got into design ...

I participated in design sprints over the weekends to enhance everyday interactions of people. The appreciative UX community & sense of satisfaction I experienced while making impactful decisions, became an enabler for my design journey.

What interests me in design ...

I am a curious problem solver. I held different hats to learn about people, technology & business. The conversations and thought process we put together as a team for user's welfare, gravitates me to be a people designer forever.
