About

Hello. My name is Preshit Deorukhkar (pronounced as prey-shith). Welcome to my blog.

Presently, I write about some of the most beautifully designed stuff at Beautiful Pixels, where I am the Editor-in-Chief.

I’m 25 and live in Mumbai, India. Growing up, I’ve been passionate about building stuff on the web. Back in 2006, I started a web-hosting company called Expertrio Web Services. In 2008, I co-founded Smoking Apples — a blog that covers in-depth reviews, analysis, views, opinions, tutorials and how-tos about all things Apple, Mac & iOS. In 2009, I went ahead and co-founded Beautiful Pixels — a blog that features a showcase of anything and everything that has beautiful pixels. Then in 2010, I put together a small but genius team of passionate individuals and started working towards Homescreen.me, a website that lets you showcase your iOS device homescreens and the apps you’re using on them.

Apart from being the Editor on Smoking Apples and Beautiful Pixels, I have also been an Editor on sites like WATBlog, MobileIndustryReview, The Fifty Paise and IndiaGSM and briefly, the India Editor at The Next Web.

I have also enjoyed working as the Sr. Public Relations Executive at one of the best app development companies in the world — Sourcebits.

My primary computer is an Apple iMac (2.5GHz Core i5, 21.5″). There’s a gorgeous 24″ Apple LED Cinema Display attached to it. When traveling, I carry my iPhone 4 and an iPad with me in a booq Taipan Shadow XS that also houses my Allen & Heath XD-53.

Mac OS X, without a doubt, is home to some amazing applications and gorgeous UIs ever built. Apart from the default apps that come with Mac OS X, I use the following 3rd party apps in my workflow:
