About

Hey there! I’m Nikhil — a Product Designer with 7+ years of experience, primarily working on B2B and fintech products. I love solving messy design problems and turning them into clean, usable, and intuitive experiences. Over the years, I’ve worked on a variety of products like payment platforms, eKYC flows, data dashboards, and consent management systems. Whether it’s building internal tools or customer-facing apps, I focus on making things functional, scalable, and easy to understand — both for users and teams working behind the scenes. I actually started out in growth and marketing design, but curiosity led me deeper into product and UX. I realized I enjoy asking “why,” breaking down flows, and designing solutions that make everyday interactions smoother. I’ve also been part of fast-paced startup teams, so I’m used to wearing many hats, juggling multiple projects, and turning ideas into prototypes quickly. I enjoy working closely with cross-functional teams, organizing workflows, and improving how products evolve over time. Outside of work, I’m either experimenting in the kitchen, playing random mobile games to reset my head, or deep in anime/manga story arcs. Let’s connect — I’m always up to chat about design, workflows, or even just a great UI you’ve seen lately. ☺️
