"and in the middle i found design"

Palak Agrawal - UX/UI Designer

Helloo, I'm Palak

I'm the younger daughter at home, the one who's been pampered all her life, but that didn't stop me from growing into someone who thrives on challenges. My journey into design wasn't some dramatic revelation—it was a slow, quiet unfolding. It started the day my brother gave me a notebook divided in half: one side for classwork, the other for drawing. Of course, the "rough work" side filled up first—with sketches, not sums.

I've picked up a thousand hobbies over time, but the one that stuck was creating. Drawing, painting, writing, designing—whatever the form, I've always searched for a way to communicate, to tell stories, to make people feel. What started as copying pictures from books turned into anime sketches, then painting, then detailed charcoal portraits, then typography, and eventually, into the kind of art that says something. I don't just want to make things look good—I want them to mean something.

That's what pulled me into communication design. It wasn't just about visuals, it was about impact. Whether it was print design or movie-making, I found myself asking the same questions: How can this help someone? How can this solve a problem? How can this change something? I've realized I'm obsessed with perception, with psychology, with how every experience is shaped by how we see it. And more than just communicating experiences, I learnt I want to create them and here I am, Experience designer.

I love problems. They excite me, especially the kind that feel out of reach. I'll always go the extra mile to find solutions no one else is even looking for. Deep down, I'm a simple girl—I love listening, helping, being there for people. My best day? It's any day I get to help someone. Doesn't matter how big or small the act is. That's what fills me. That's what drives me.

I'm not here to fit into a mold. I'm here to break it, reshape it, and make something that matters. Something that speaks. Something that makes someone stop, feel, and maybe even smile.
