A little about me

Nice to meet you! My name is Nikhil.

I’m a Product Designer currently working at Pearson and previously worked on solving complex design problems around decentralized products at a web3 startup and at a design agency. Currently, I’m based in London, UK, but originally from the silicon valley of India i.e., Bangalore.

I graduated with a double masters in Computer Science and Project Management from Anglia Ruskin University and hold a bachelors in computer science. The shift in my career happened when I gradually started understanding how design thinking can solve real-world challenges at scale and realized the importance of user-centered design.

As a Product Designer, I want to help make things more than just pretty and make them accessible as well. My mission as a designer is to improve human experiences by designing easy-to-use products that solve problems for millions of people.

These days I spend a lot of time attending events and reading books to expand my understanding of design processes. In my free time, you can see me playing video games, rooting android phones or watching tech product reviews.

Feel free to contact me if you’d like to get in touch.

I love music🎶, smartphones📱, temples🛕 and love trying new things.

I try taking trips at least once a year, so I can get away from my routine to re-energize myself, and come back invigorated to go at it again. Travelling has lead me to cultivate an interest towards photography and I do click a few when I find something scenic. Check them out!
