Hello! 👋 Here's a little about me -
My first name is 'Pranava' which means cosmic music in Sanskrit but most people call me by my surname.
🎶
I am a digital product designer. So I end up drawing a lot of rectangles every day. 👩🏻💻
I think circles are squares with extreme rounded corners.
⚪️
I was born and raised in Bangalore, India. I'm currently based in London.
🇬🇧
I have over 5+ years of work experience. I previously worked at Microsoft and Adobe. I currently work at Intercom in the Channels team, designing for better email experiences.
📨
I graduated from NIFT with a bachelor's degree in Textile Design, and from IIT with a master's in Interaction Design.
💻
Over the years, I may have developed a profound interest in designing for conversational products. 💬
I also love building processes that support scalable solutions.
But, more than anything I love people and, I thrive in inclusive teams & collaborative environments.
🌈
Guy Delisle, Luke Wroblewski, Aarron Walter, Jared Spool, Liz Fosslien and Jake Knapp are some artists and designers who inspire me a lot.
📚
I like to make fantastical art with a lot of colours and black outlines. I also paint every now and then. But overall, a very moody artist.

I like to travel. I have been in over ~120 cities. I love hiking, cycling, running, swimming, yoga and everything that gives me a good dopamine rush. And have I told you how much I love alpacas? 🦙

I also write about design & sometimes organize workshops as a Figma Advocate for FoF Oxford, (previously FoF Hyderabad) trying to do my small part in helping the design community grow.
