Hi, my name is Navya Pilla, and I am currently studying Industrial Design at the University of Cincinnati. I am passionate about ergonomics and user-centered design, with a particular interest in automotive and footwear design. I am especially drawn to creating comfortable, stylish shoes for individuals with flat feet, combining functionality with aesthetics. I still strive to learn more about all of the areas of Industrial Design as I continue through school.

Outside of my academic work, I come from a fine arts background and enjoy a wide range of creative practices, including sketching, sculpting, painting, photography, and glassblowing. I also have a strong interest in languages and cultures, and I am proficient in six languages.

Additionally, I have a deep passion for Indian and Hindu culture and am committed to exploring ways to preserve and celebrate cultural heritage for future generations.
