About Pragya Srivastava

Sr UX Designer at Oxy

Hi there! 👋🏽 I’m a Sr UX Designer and I love all things design. I have around 10 years of design experience.

From Building Architecture to Information Architecture, I take pride in designing experiences to help people navigate through digital and physical spaces. I strongly believe in “Form follows function” and enjoy minimalistic yet impactful designs.

When I'm not working, I'm either spending time with my pet dog "Eva", tending to my ever growing collection of plants, walking around trails getting amused at nature and architectural details or just watching a show on Netflix. I love to talk to people about their journey and interests!
