Hi, 👋 I'm Nikita!
Product Designer & Researcher
I’m endlessly fascinated by the intersection of nature, technology, and humanity—a space where I believe the most meaningful solutions for our world are waiting to be discovered.
❤️ : 📖 ✍️ ⛰ 🎥 👩🏻🎨 🧘♀️
From an engineering student in Pune, India to a product designer in Seattle, I've always been drawn to systems—how they work, how they break, and how to make them better.
My engineering background gives me a unique edge: I think in systems, speak developer, and design for scale. Whether it's architecting information hierarchies for ed-tech platforms or building design systems for SaaS products, I thrive at the intersection of complexity
and clarity.
Outside of work, you'll find me hiking Pacific Northwest trails, experimenting with sustainable living practices, and advocating for design that doesn't cost the earth.
Currently seeking: Product Designer or UX Researcher roles where I can drive impact through systems thinking and user-centered design.
I design with my whole heart because I believe even the smallest details can spark the biggest changes—for users, businesses, and our planet.
If you're looking for someone who listens like a forest and designs like they're planting seeds for tomorrow, let's create something beautiful together. 🌱 ☎️
My Beliefs
👩🏻👾 Human + AI
While AI can generate almost anything, it’s the human mind that asks the right questions, uncovers the real problems, and guides technology toward good.
⚖️ Ethics always comes first
I believe in being real and ethical and choose to work with people who share the same values.
🔦 Self-Awareness Fuels Creativity
Knowing myself helps me stay aligned with my purpose and bring greater intention to every project, and I’m able to create more genuine, thoughtful, and resonant experiences.,
🔎 Analysis over Assumption
I prioritize research and data-driven insights over personal bias or industry trends. Every design decision should be grounded in real understanding, not guesswork or assumptions
🤝 Collaboration Over Ego
I believe the best ideas emerge through open collaboration. I value co-design, diverse voices, and collective problem-solving over individual ego or rigid processes
🔮Internal world over external world
I value happiness, health and strong relationships over material success and mere professional networking.
What drives me?
🌍 Planet-Centric Mindset
I’m passionate about moving beyond human-centered design to embrace approaches that benefit people, businesses, and the planet. For me, real impact comes from aligning what I do with what I value—sustainability, simplicity, and growth for all.
✨ Curiosity Beyond Work
Whether I’m exploring, learning, creating or doing something I love, I believe that what we do outside our jobs makes us more creative and empathetic designers.
🪴 Nature as Inspiration
I see nature not just as a backdrop, but as a teacher. Its patterns, resilience, and harmony inspire the way I approach design challenges—always seeking solutions that are both innovative and gentle on our world.
