Hi there! My name is Priya Venkatesan, and I'm a sophomore at UC Berkeley majoring in Cognitive Science and minoring in Data Science. I love designing intuitive interfaces that contribute to a more connected digital environment and sustain ripples of positive social impact.

By designing experiences that foster human empathy, I find that my everyday work has become much more meaningful. Human-Centered Design has allowed me to not only solve some incredibly interesting problems but also become a more thoughtful person in the process.

As a social-impact product designer, I believe in using both qualitative insights and quantitative data to inform my design decisions to tell a story. Design should not only be functional, but also kind.

In my free time, I love taking sunset photos, cuddling with cats, and reading fiction novels in quiet bookstores.
