about me

I'm Purvaja Borkar.
A designer trained in architecture, working across UX, interaction design, and visual systems.

The through-line across my work is spatial thinking: the discipline of designing around how someone moves through something, whether that something is a mobile app, a data dashboard, or a room in a museum. Architecture taught me to think in three dimensions. UX taught me to think in interactions. Every project since has been about finding where those two disciplines meet.
