“Pratik is a highly talented Product Designer with a great sense of customer empathy when approaching new projects. Always appreciated by his peers, Pratik has a natural ability for communicating with cross-functional partners while leading them on multiple initiatives. He added a great deal of positive personality and energy to the broader team. Pratik was instrumental in creating the all new local/maps experience that required him to learn new skills on the fly while leading/bringing his partners along during the process. Pratik is someone that I looked forward to working with daily and I hope to do so again in the future.”
