my story
Hi, I’m Priyanka!
I started as a full-stack developer and fine artist, exploring how technology and creativity intersect in real-world experiences. That early curiosity about how people interact with digital systems and creative processes across industries eventually led me to UX.
They say all great paths are twisty — mine led me from design into research. Over the past 9+ years, I’ve led research initiatives across global teams, startups, and diverse communities, uncovering the “why” behind user behavior to inform products that really work for people. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with cross-functional teams, shaped strategies, and helped organizations translate insights into action.
I’ve worked across non-profits, higher education, and corporate teams, and I’m passionate about creating opportunities for BIPOC women in STEM. Mentorship and advocacy are central to my work, and I enjoy helping others grow in their careers.
I’m an artist, public speaker, educator, and avid world traveler, always finding inspiration and new perspectives in the people and places I explore.
Thanks for taking a look around!
