Hi. I am Swati Prasad, a UI/UX designer and curator from India and I currently live in Zürich, Switzerland. I grew up in a small city in the Eastern Region of India, where the population is almost 100 times more than Zürich.
My journey from a conservative city to being able to study design(then considered unconventional) in far-away Bangalore, being the first girl in my family to leave home for education, and then from there on to Zürich to pursue my interest in visual cultures, has been quite an adventurous ride. Adapting to so many new situations has helped me gain a lot of different perspectives, which I try to translate into whatever I do.
In 2010, I graduated with a professional diploma in Visual Communication Design from the Srishti School of Art, Design & Technology, Bangalore. After gaining almost 6 years of professional experience in Visual Design in India, and having never really been outside the country, I wanted to learn and experience new cultures. To fulfill this desire and add to my exploration of global visual cultures, I decided to move to Zürich. In 2018, I graduated with a Master in Curating from Zürcher Hochschule der Künste. And in 2021, I am completed a second Master's Degree in Design with a specialization in Trends & Identity at the same university.
I love animals especially dogs and cats. You can see some of them here who I have been lucky enough to nurture. I enjoy houseplants (if I can keep them alive) and have a deep passion for all kinds of food, whether cooking or eating.
