Women Who Reign: Mihika Kapoor

I met Mihika at the Sequoia Start @ a Startup Conference where she was one of the primary organizers — not a small task on top of classwork and having a social life! I also love designers and Mihika is interested in User Experience. Love the colorful gifs she sent me!

Tell us a little about yourself along with a fun fact.
I am a UX Designer and an aspiring entrepreneur from New York. I love design, coding, TechCrunch articles, food, and taking pictures of food. The innovation and creativity inherent to Computer Science has led me to pursue this field at Princeton University. Now as a sophomore, I leverage my visual design skills and contribute to the tech world around me. My biggest strength is my ability to blend my technical skills with my creative and artistic flair. This allows me to have a multidimensional perspective when pursuing a problem and enables me to think outside the box while devising product solutions.

Fun fact: My guilty pleasure is molten chocolate lava cake. If a restaurant offers one, then this dessert will surely be on my plate.

Favorite website / app:
Functionally, my favorite app/website is Yelp. As a foodie, I have used it to discover some unreal tucked away spots. The first time I used it to find a restaurant in a new neighborhood I unearthed a restaurant that served 12 different types of guacamole. I have never looked back.

Aesthetically, my favorite app is Instagram. I love the clean look, the brevity of text and the emphasis on dynamic visuals. It’s an app that intrigues me, but still gives me room to be creative and have fun. Crisp colors overwhelm my screen in the fall and cherry blossoms glow under my thumbs in the spring. Not to mention, who doesn’t love a good food insta? ;)
