Selected Work

Three projects I’m proud of — end to end.

Highway Directory

Streamlining Highway’s directory to optimize the carrier vetting workflow for freight brokers.

B2B SaaS

Alexa Hunches Feedback

Redefining the feedback experience for Alexa’s Hunches — less intrusive alerts, more accurate proactive actions.

B2C

Oasis Browser

Building a voice-first AI browser that feels ergonomic and calm.

AI Product

AI Side Quests

Weekend experiments where I poke at AI and design.

Interweave!

Figma plugin, design tooling with AI — built to intertwine overlapping layers. Shipped.

Curveball!

Ed tech, conversation design — helping parents navigate kids’ early curiosity about bodies.

Pesto Blocks

Chrome extension, Notion API — your Notion database, surfaced right where you’re typing.

Notion AI Blocks History

Productivity concept — reuse a Notion AI block in a single click, not a hunt-copy-paste.

Kind Words

What teammates and collaborators say.

Pournami joined my research project at IUB focused on building social connections among older adults and did an outstanding job. She was dedicated, diligent, and consistently met deadlines. She proactively offered suggestions to streamline the protocol — I was glad to have her on the team.

Pallabi Bhowmick

Postdoctoral Researcher @UIUC

I worked with Pournami during Visa’s Climate Tech Hackathon. She consistently delivered as a designer and researcher, communicated so well it felt like we were in the same room, and presented our solution to judges with real clarity and design expertise.

Ethan Watson

UX Designer II @McGraw Hill

Pournami successfully completed her UX project on Alexa. With her team, she explored key pain points in the voice assistant experience, conducted user research, and prototyped feasible solutions 👏

Monica M. Chan, EdD

UX Researcher, Alexa Ambient Intelligence @Amazon

Pournami brings strong ownership, moves fast without losing thoughtfulness, and keeps teams aligned. Her work on the Oasis design system made design–engineering collaboration much smoother at Kahana.
