a bit about me

design//product//vc//cs//food

I'm a Product Manager at Instagram, SF where I work on Direct Messaging (follow me @mihikapoor). I am passionate about intuitive user experiences, collaborative community building, and the role of design in seemingly orthogonal disciplines.

In 2017, I founded Design Nation, an annual all-expenses-paid conference in NYC to connect the top 99 design-driven students in the country with leading creative executives and thought leaders.

I graduated from Princeton University where I studied Computer Science, Visual Arts & Entrepreneurship. Upon graduating, I was selected to be a member of Dorm Room Fund’s inaugural Female Founder Track cohort.

In college, I directed Princeton's Silicon Valley TigerTrek, a one week trip where Princeton's top 20 entrepreneurs and engineers meet with tech leaders in the Bay. I secured meetings with Jack Dorsey, Jeff Jordan, Peter Fenton, Sarah Tavel, Joe Gebbia, and more.

I have formerly worked in VC at Stripes Group, and at Facebook as a Product Designer.

I design Snapchat Geofilters for fun! Order one here.
