Hi, I'm Payal
A UI designer who believes design should whisper, not shout
My journey into design began while volunteering for a non-profit—what started as creating flyers sparked a love for visual storytelling. I've since completed a UI/UX bootcamp with UT Austin, where I led the design for a leisure activity app and built a foundation in accessibility and user interface principles.
My Design Philosophy
"I believe good design is invisible—it supports the user's journey without distraction."
I lean into clean layouts, intuitive interactions, and color palettes that are accessible yet expressive. As I continue developing my craft, I aim to balance function with aesthetic clarity while learning from experienced designers and teams.
