Words of Appreciation from LinkedIn
HELLO! I'M PRASAD (pruh:saad)
I live in Seattle, WA, one of the most
beautiful cities, often known as the Evergreen City. Originally, I'm from Pune,
India, famously called the "Oxford of the East."
Most names in India carry a meaning
with them. Mine is no different. My name is a direct translation of ‘Gift of God or
Blessing.’
I have two beautiful ladies in my life, my wife Ketki and my daughter Sana who is 11 years old now.
I love to play games on PC and Xbox,
click photos with my mobile & DSLR, I
enjoy building Legos too.
I believe in contributing back to the
design community. I love sharing
knowledge in the form of informative,
learning posts on a professional
platform like LinkedIn and mentoring
new professionals in the design field.
I am a big foodie and love to try
different cuisines, which you can make
out from my photo.
