Hello!
I am Pranav,
A Product Designer & An Avid Photographer.

Curious, collaborative, and quietly driven, Pranav brings a thoughtful presence to every product challenge. He’s the kind of designer who asks the right questions early on, helping teams get clear on the “why” before diving into the “how.” With a natural balance of strategic thinking and aesthetic finesse, he makes the journey feel human, seamless, and purposeful.


Pranav thrives in cross-functional teams, working closely with PMs, developers, and stakeholders to align on vision and shape experiences that are intuitive and impactful. He’s skilled at connecting the dots between user needs and business goals, whether he’s rethinking a checkout flow, designing a curated directory, or building systems that scale. His approach is grounded in UX strategy, thoughtful collaboration, and a deep respect for the craft.


Detail-oriented without losing sight of the big picture, Pranav is always looking for smarter, cleaner ways to solve problems—and he does it with care, curiosity, and a good sense of humor. A believer in mentorship and intentional leadership, he brings empathy and clarity to everything he works on.
