Information Experience Designer in London, She/Her

About

Priti is an Information Experience Designer with a keen interest in understanding heritage and culture through evocative, data-enriched interpretations. Informed by research, her trans-disciplinary practice seeks out lesser-explored avenues of inquiry & subjective interpretations of data. She holds a Master’s in Design for Data Visualisation from the University of the Arts, London. In her spare moments, Priti likes going on data walks, making generative art, tinkering around with electronics, and making oddly-shaped books.

Projects

2023

Atlas of Intangibles is a data experience designed to highlight the rich, interconnected web of sensory information that lies beneath our everyday encounters. Showcasing sensory data collected by me around the city of London through score-based data walks, the digital experience invites viewers to choose specific themes and explore related data as views — journeys, connections, and typologies. Each data point is rich in context, encompassing images & audio recordings.

2022

An interactive website that archives a curated collection of seats and seating culture in India.

This experience is an extension of essays from the book From the Frugal to the Ornate: Stories of the Seat in India.
