DESIGNER. READER. MAKER.

My name is Sonali Priya. I was born in India, studied Computer Science in the US, and found my home in the vibrant city of St. Louis, Missouri. I have a deep passion for designing and building things: apps, products, systems, websites. I thrive at the intersection of art and technology, crafting experiences that feel fresh, functional, and impactful. My work spans software and mobile applications, design systems, game development, and product strategy, and I'm endlessly curious about new tools and frameworks that push the boundaries of what's possible.


Outside of design and code, you'll often find me gaming. From MMORPGs to survival games and RTS, I play a wide range. It's one of those spaces where creativity and technology meet in ways that feel genuinely exciting every time.


When screens can't hold me anymore, the mountains call. As a nature nomad and alpine explorer, I'm always chasing the next trail, the next summit, the next view that makes you forget everything else. The outdoors is where I reset, recharge, and find the kind of inspiration that no design brief ever could.


I'm always looking to connect with people who bring the same energy to what they do, whether that's building something new, exploring uncharted territory, or just geeking out over a great idea. If that sounds like you, let's talk.

My name is Sonali "Luna" Priya. I have a deep passion for designing and developing apps, websites, software, etc. I was born in India and studied Computer Science in the US. I currently reside in the beautiful city of St. Louis, Missouri. I specialize in blending art and technology to craft experiences that feel fresh, functional, and impactful. My journey has led me to work on a variety of projects, from software and mobile applications to websites and game design. I'm always exploring new tools, frameworks, and programming languages to push my skills further and bring ideas to life.

While I love working with both design and code, I also thrive in the world of gaming, where I play everything from MMORPGs to survival games and RTS. Gaming is more than just a hobby; it’s a space where creativity meets technology, offering endless opportunities to learn, play, and experience new worlds.

When I’m not behind a screen, you’ll find me outside. As a nature nomad and alpine explorer, I’m always seeking adventure in the great outdoors. The mountains are my playground, where I chase new summits and draw inspiration from the landscapes around me.

I’m always looking to collaborate with like-minded people who share my passion for innovation and exploration, both in technology and in life.

Here’s a bit about my adventures

Backpacking

Some trips are planned. Most of the best ones aren't. I love hitting the trail with just the essentials and seeing where it takes me.

Appalachian Trail

Mark Twain Wilderness

Bell Mountain

Summits

There's something about reaching the top of something that resets everything. I'm always looking for the next one.

Mt. Whitney

Mt. Le Conte

Mt. Baldy

Camping

No agenda, no notifications, just a good spot to set up and slow down. Some of my best thinking happens here.

Biking

Gravel roads, long stretches, and no particular hurry. Biking is how I explore places at the right speed.
