Testimonial

me

Thank you for checking my website out. Let me introduce myself.

I am Pournami Krishnan. For those of who that is difficult to pronounce (which is the majority of you), I am Pammu for you guys.

My dream and passion was to become a Pilot, like most of the 10-15 year olds dream. But as I grew and started exploring my options, I found myself being drawn towards the artistic world of Designers. Yes, I am passionate about Digital Designing and User-centered Design process & its Designing. I am a very kind and fun-loving person, who loves to work with people, understand them and this nature of mine made me fit so easily with my current passion.

The journey of my life as a Bachelor graduate in Mass Communication from India to the Double Degree Master student in Human Computer Interaction and Design in Europe was a highly risky and bumpy one. I took the huge risk of letting go of my secured and comfortable 2 year job in my hometown to fly to an unknown far-away continent and give a shot at a technical course without any technical background. It was a very difficult journey, but my passion for designing and the very much different style of education system in Europe made me work harder. After long sleepless nights and putting thrice the effort than needed, I can very proudly call myself as a qualified UX Designer, the role or tagline I have been waiting to put under my name, for a really long time. I even spend my 2 month summer vacation working at a consultancy company as a UX intern to get to know the experience of working as a UX Designer at a company and to improve my skills. That experience made me realise why I want this and also gave me strength and confidence to strive more towards it.

If you find my journey interesting, you can take a look at my works. If you want to know more and would like to discuss over a cup of coffee or virtually, get in touch with me. Let’s connect and build up the UX community.
