About

Hello! I’m Palak

Using design thinking to incite change, unlock creativity & design products that make our lives more productive, human, & delightful.

Investigating human experiences, understanding the big picture and diving into tiniest details of interaction design to turn wicked problems into simple, inclusive & intuitive designs.

Outside the design sphere, I am an avid traveller, a tea enthusiast & a stationery hoarder. I am also a big Harry Potter fan, but then who isn’t!
