✽ What does Devaki offer? What is her photography style?

✽ Has she worked in spaces like mine?

The solution

✽ A print shop, where people can buy prints with different sizes and frames

The Vision

Solution through Redesign

Dev Patel 🤝 Devaki Dhuldhoya

Dev Patel 🤝 Devaki Dhuldhoya

The new design creates a seamless experience that benefits both Dev, the client, and Devaki, the photographer. For Dev, it provides a clear, intuitive navigation and easy access to key features, making site management and user engagement straightforward.


For Devaki, the design beautifully showcases her work while simplifying the process for visitors to explore her portfolio and purchase prints, helping her connect with clients and grow her business.

Redesigning Devaki’s Website made me reflect on my own portfolio. A good portfolio has the capacity to reflect one’s personality, work style, talents and stand out from the rest.


This participation in Protothon 2025 gave me a chance to tackle a real project with the real client’s expectations helping me grow as a designer and think strategically.


I thank the entire DubsTech & Design Buddies team for the opportunity 🧡
