Yo, this is Prem.
I design products and make films.

Host @ Film Decoded
Currently designing digital environments for student communities at Openhouse
Design
I stumbled upon UI/UX design when I was learning motion graphics. As I started exploring, I was really fascinated by the structured creativity involved. UI/UX design lays emphasis on research, frameworks, iterations and feedback which are foundational blocks of any creative process.

I strongly believe one will be a better creative in general, by deeply understanding and practicing Design.
Multiple products at Openhouse, an ed-tech startup
PRODUCT DESIGN
USER RESEARCH
Openhouse is a VC backed start-up. Being the first designer onboard, I was responsible for designing the core product - a video platform for students and educators, and multiple marketing landing pages.
Openrooms: A group study platform for students
PRODUCT DESIGN
USER RESEARCH
At Openhouse, we tried to solve the problem of student being able to study together remotely. Along with the main product, have also designed the landing page. The team consisted of two designers and a product manager.

FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT
PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
Right off the bat, this redesign is in no way associated with Uber Eats. It’s simply a design exercise. I recently started working as a UI/UX designer and I took up this...
Re-imagining the UX of Uber Eats

UI/UX DESIGN
PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
Designed the UX of the first privacy product of Exterro. The challenge was to build a product that caters to all the privacy laws in the US. Worked with a a team of 11 to bring this product alive,
Freelance videos
I started out with the aim of becoming a freelancer in film-making. While my main area of focus shifted to design, I always keep picking up interesting video projects to work on. These usually help me explore a completely new field and it's always interesting that way.
Trezee: Non-alcoholic Wines
CINEMATOGRAPHY
EDITING
Which film-maker wouldn't want to capture and edit a wine-making video? Collaborated with a musician who also happened to be my roommate. Yes, we took home a case!
PushOwl + Headphone Zone case study
CINEMATOGRAPHY
EDITING
This was a high budget, high responsibility gig, bigger than anything I had done until that point. Howerver, it was made extremely hasslefree by the amazing folks at PushOwl. The video is currently live on the Shopify official site with over 14,000 views.
Mechanica
MOTION GRAPHICS
Made this for a department fest at college. I was sitting in the last row when this video was played for the first time in an auditorium and someone said to his friend "They killed the video" and that's so far the best compliment I've ever recieved.
The Culture Machine: VIVA
COLOUR GRADING
Extremely fortunate to have collaborated with VIVA as a Digital Intermediate (Colour Grading) artist. It felt really great to see my name in their credits, given that I had been a huge admirer of their work since school days.
Pan-India Survey
MOTION GRAPHICS
This video was aimed at nudging people to fill out a survey regarding the Indian education system. We spent a lot of time scripting this to establish a connection with the viewers as early in the video as possible and it had to be visual heavy to keep them engaged.
YouTube
This is my most prized possession. It's where I dump all my thoughts, experiences and learnings. Making fun and informative videos just for my channel surprisingly paved way for so many exciting freelance and full-time opportunities for me.

Through this channel, I wish to give a beginner's perspective to freelancing in video, photography and design by sharing my own experiences. My goal is to reach out to the Indian student community and share tangible ways of building alternate careers.

My Freelance Journey | Rewind 2017

Cycle Trip to Mahabalipuram
CINEMATIC
A long 100km cycle ride along the coast of Chennai. Tried an entirely new colour grading technique where the scheme is changed from RGB to something custom.
Creative Coding
Once I started working full-time, I took this up as a fun side project. As I started diving deeper, I developed a deep appreciation for math, a subject I performed disastrously at college. But with no obligation to perform well anymore, I explored and experimented with many equations and creative ways of visualizing them. Also made many new connections in the, still nascent, Indian creative coding community.
PLAY AREA
Inspirations

No one beats MKBHD in making the best produced tech videos. My intros for the YouTube videos are highly inspired from him.

An educated, disruptive director who makes films that are as close to reality as possible. I rewatch his films just marvelling at the way each scene is tailormade!
