Hello! I'm Piyush Punjwani, a recent graduate with a Master's degree from Loughborough University, following an intensive undergraduate program at Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE). My journey is fueled by a passion for reading, photography, and music – interests that ignite my creativity and inspire my work in UI/UX Design.
My undergraduate studies included valuable practical experience, notably my second internship with ICETEAMEDIA Group, where my Final Year Project garnered praise from both my professor and industry mentor. This intensive experience was instrumental in honing my skills and solidifying my dedication to UI/UX design.
My MSc program at Loughborough University further enriched my skills with real-world application. Among my standout moments, my master's dissertation stands tall. The research and insights I gained while exploring the use of extended reality technology to improve social presence and engagement in education have significantly shaped my approach to UX. This project, along with another MSc industry project where I contributed to the design of an Education and Career Coach for a real company, showcases my ability to blend analytical thinking with creative solutions to practical challenges. The website revamp I led at ICETEAMEDIA Group (part of my undergraduate work, and which involved in-depth UI/UX trend and usability research), further fueled my enthusiasm for creating impactful user experiences.
Throughout my focused academic journey, I've cultivated a deep empathy for users, driving me to design solutions that not only meet their needs but also align with business objectives. I also pride myself on my ability to demystify complex UI/UX concepts, fostering clear communication and collaboration within cross-functional teams.
I'm eager to embark on the next chapter of my career, and while I'm currently based in India, I'm excited by the prospect of exploring opportunities across the globe. I believe that diverse experiences and perspectives enrich the design process, and I'm open to settling wherever my career can truly flourish.
Thank you for visiting my portfolio! I invite you to delve into my projects and discover my passion for crafting meaningful and user-centered experiences.
