Hi there, I'm Priya (Rhymes with Free-yeah)
Past 6 years, I held different hats to learn about people, technology, and business. The conversations we put together as a team, made me realize that I deeply admire the sense of satisfaction while making impactful design decisions to empower people in the digital world.
I often think about everyday interactions in products that are used worldwide. Enjoy reading some of my recent out of the box explorations.

Funny side
- Doodling everywhere, from whiteboard (my sacred place) to kitchen towels while waiting for food to get cooked. Yes, that hungry moment!
- Often, dream being in underground world with friends, solving problems to save the world. But in my recent dreams, I went to space with a crew of 6 to explore a blue planet and returned safe, haha
- Scrolling through memes and kicking off creativity from there for special Mondays
When I'm not designing, I circle in this world to seek inspirations
