Hi — I’m Prithiv Kumar
A UX Product Designer, Mentor, Writer, and Podcast Host. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve blended my background as an engineer, trainer, and brand-builder to design experiences that delight users and drive impact.
My Story
My story didn't start with a blank canvas or a wireframe; it began in the structured world of engineering. But I quickly discovered that while I enjoyed building things that worked, my true passion was in solving people-problems. This curiosity led me down a different path, one that bridged the gap between pure logic and human emotion.
From crafting functional products to building immersive board games, I've always been drawn to creating tools and experiences that resonate on a deeper level.
Along this journey, I've had the privilege of working with both large global and small brands, mentoring a new generation of designers, and sharing what I've learned through my writing and podcast.
My goal is simple: to help you navigate the messy, yet beautiful, intersection of aesthetics, function, and human-centered design, so you can create work that truly connects with people.
What I Do
Design & Case Studies - I love a deep dive. My work involves hands-on product UX, from crafting detailed interactions and prototypes to building end-to-end case studies that show my process and the real-world impact of design.
Blog & Writing - I share what I learn. My blog is a space for insights, how-to guides, and reflections on design, UX trends, and the tools we use every day.
Mentoring - Great design grows in community. I offer personalized coaching for emerging designers, helping them with career growth, portfolio building, and sharpening their UX skills.
Podcast - Coming soon! I’m launching a podcast to have conversations with designers, thinkers, and makers about their process, creativity, and the craft of design. New episodes will be released regularly.
Mentoring & Community
I believe that great design grows in community. That's why I'm passionate about mentoring emerging designers, guiding them through the nuances of portfolio building, UX processes, and navigating the design industry.
Whether you're just starting your journey or aiming to level up, I'm here to help you sharpen your unique voice and create work that truly matters.
