From Fashion to Product Design.

While pursuing a bachelor's degree in Fashion Design, I fortunately got a chance to minor in Graphic Design.


When COVID hit, online classes didn’t feel enough. That's when I found a remote graphic design internship at an early stage design agency, Newwwton.

My cat in her favourite sleeping position

I enjoy cooking food that feels close to home. I'm always up for watching documentaries and thrillers.


Other than that, I’m a full-time cat mom. I love teaching her tricks and building stuff for her.

Beyond work.

I'm curious and love exploring new things. I'm ambitious and I believe consistency and hard-work always pays off.

I believe kindness makes the world a better place. In my journey of learning to love myself and be confident in who I am, I strive to always be kind and compassionate to others.

The musical team after the show

It was a new experience and totally pushed me out of my comfort zone, but I absolutely loved it! Seeing everything come to life was the best feeling.

A recent adventure.

A recent adventure.

I recently produced a musical where I managed the stage crew. We procured props, built sets, and coordinated prop movements between scenes.


With 4 months of hard work and weekend practices, we pulled it off!

A natural leader and collaborator.

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Priyanka as a Product Designer at Popup. Priyanka was in charge of many projects, including redesigning our Admin and Storefront Editor, which involved building and working with our new design system.

Priyanka is a highly skilled and experienced Product Designer with a deep understanding of design thinking and user experience design. She is also a natural leader and collaborator with a passion for building products that users love. With Priyanka we successfully redesigned our Admin and Storefront Editor, making them more user-friendly and efficient. She also worked closely with our engineering team to develop and implement a new design system, which has made it easier and faster for us to build new features and enhancements.

In addition to her design skills, Priyanka is also a great communicator and collaborator. She is able to clearly explain her design ideas to both technical and non-technical people. She is also always willing to listen to feedback and input from others.

I highly recommend Priyanka for any Senior Product Design position!"

An intuitive Product Designer with an eye for detail.

"I had the pleasure of working with Priyanka at Popup, and it was a fantastic experience. Priyanka is not only a smart and intuitive Product Designer but also brings a light-hearted and positive vibe to the team.

She has an eye for detail, especially when it comes to user experience and understanding user stories. Our collaboration sessions were always something I looked forward to. It's clear that she genuinely cares about creating designs that resonate with users.

What stands out about Priyanka is her great mix of design skills and teamwork. She's adaptable, takes feedback well, and is always ready to contribute to the team's success. I have no doubt that she'll continue to excel and be a great team player wherever she goes.

Sprinkles her magic.

Sprinkles her magic.

"Priyanka worked with me for several projects and led design for incredible.dev where I managed her. Her eye for details in UI/UX and empathy for customers is top notch.

She is not a person who compromises on quality just because we are on a tight schedule, she pushes herself to get the commitments delivered. The best part about her is her ability to just merge with developers and work out the best possible solution that sticks to the timeframe and solves the problem of a customer.

Her designs were advanced and her skills to optimize UX lead to many design innovations in our company. Present a rough idea and she sprinkles her magic to make it the best possible experience for your customer. She's a gem of a person, a team player, amazing designer and I'd recommend her above and beyond."

About this portfolio.

I built this portfolio using Framer. It is hacked together but it is uniquely mine.

I believe design is more than visuals and processes; it's a journey of challenges, missteps, and growth. I want every project to tell a human story, so I've tried to document the real challenges and lessons the best I can.
