Hi, Im Prayag

My first experience with design was creating posters of my favorite football players and convincing them to post them on their Instagram (I succeeded once!). Fast forward many years, I graduated from BDes Interaction Design at Emily Carr University in 2025 and am a creative problem solver who enjoys designing solutions to business and user problems through data- and insight-driven digital experiences.

In my free time, I'm probably on a run, playing football, or working on improving my photography skills.
