biography

About

I learnt to draw things at the age of 4 (as far as I can recall) and have always been interested in art. Now, I doodle and paint in both digital and traditional media. I am a self-taught designer with varying interests. I also write about design on a blog I run with my husband (not as frequently as I'd like to).Outside of work, I am a passionate cook and hobbyist baker, and a DIY girl.

clients quotes

Anup G

Co-founder, FoodyBuddy

"I have worked with several UX designers in the past and have often noticed that designers who quickly get what the consumers want and usability is at the forefront of their design, rather than how cool the design looks, are the ones who are able to successfully solve an user design problem. Priyanka has this amazing knack of quickly understanding what's needed for the product and what would work for the users. Working with Priyanka has been a breeze so far, she instantly understands what is needed and delivers flawlessly and on time ! Her designs are elegant and at the same time very intuitive for our users. So far our users love the designs she has created for them and I look forward to working with Priyanka on more UX projects."
