Word On The Street

Pournami joined my research project at IUB focused on building social connections among older adults and did an outstanding job assisting with the study. She was dedicated, diligent, and consistently met deadlines. In addition to her strong design skills, she also demonstrated a keen interest in research.

Pournami proactively offered suggestions to improve and streamline the protocol, and I was glad to have her on the team.
Pallabi Bhowmick
Postdoctoral Researcher @UIUC
Pournami successfully completed her UX project on Alexa during the Spring 2024 semester.

With her team, she explored key pain points in the Alexa voice assistant experience, conducted user research, and prototyped feasible solutions for the problem statement that the team identified 👏
Monica M. Chan, EdD
UX Researcher, Alexa Ambient Intelligence @Amazon
I had the pleasure of working with Pournami during Visa's Climate Tech Hackathon in 2024. We worked together on a team of designers and scientists. She consistently delivered as a designer and researcher on the team.

She communicated so well during meetings and asynchronously that it felt like we were in the same room at times. I was most impressed by her ability to present our design solution to judges with clarity and design expertise.
Ethan Watson
UX Designer II @McGraw Hill
Pournami brings strong ownership, moves fast without losing thoughtfulness, and has a way of keeping teams aligned and moving forward.

Her work on the Oasis design system made collaboration between design and engineering much smoother at Kahana, and she consistently found smart ways, including prototyping with AI tools, to speed up workflows and keep momentum.

I’m glad we’re working together and excited to see her keep growing!
