Hi, I'm Ananya!

I’m a graduate student at Pratt Institute studying Human Computer Interaction, where I spend most of my time designing things that try to feel more human than mechanical.

My work lives somewhere between research, storytelling, and product thinking.
I’m interested in how people build habits, trust new ideas, and find meaning in small, everyday interactions.

Right now, through my research, I’m exploring slow and emotional design through projects that mix UX research with visual storytelling, from speculative apps to physical artifacts.

I like work that asks not just “is this functional?” but “does this feel right?”
