Priti Pandurangan

Information Designer \ Prototyper / Design Educator \ Data Walker

I work across data visualisation, UX, and design research, with over six years of experience building data-rich products, tools, and experiences. I'm also a design educator and teach at the University of the Arts London

Through my personal practice, I explore pluralistic ways of working with data – approaches that hold space for ambiguity, lived experience, and emotion. I care about what slips through the cracks – the things that don't fit neatly in spreadsheets but still very much shape how we understand the world. So, a lot of what I do is about questioning what we even consider "data" in the first place, and figuring out how we might honour what's messy, intangible, and hard to measure.

Before moving to London, I worked as an Information Design Researcher with Gramener’s Storylabs team in Bangalore. Here, I focused on developing tools & techniques for data visualisation and storytelling. I’m proud of the work we accomplished as a small team: we produced data comics, incorporated narrative techniques into data visualisations, experimented with ways of making data feel more tangible and human.

Off the clock, I code for creative expression, find my way back to a printing press, or make oddly-shaped books, though my shelves have long since run out of space. I also facilitate data walks in cities around the world.

In my downtime, I dance, wander where my feet lead me, go on long hikes — preferably coastal — or, ride trains through the English countryside, nose pressed to the window.
