About

I'm Nidheesh, a product designer with over five years of experience and a slightly inconvenient curiosity about everything.

I started out in architecture, which turned out to be less of a detour and more of a foundation. Designing for how people experience things translated more naturally into product design.

Outside of work, I'm usually falling down some rabbit hole. Music, photography, film, food, AI tools, tech innovations. Not because I'm trying to be well-rounded, but because I genuinely can't help it. That same curiosity is what I try to bring into the products I build, a little warmth, a little craft, and attention to the moments that make people want to come back.

At Oyachat, I design end-to-end workflows for their crypto AI chatbot and built their entire design system and brand identity from scratch, with the goal of making crypto feel less intimidating. Before that, I worked with CNN designing an app to re-engage Gen Z with news and make it feel a little less like a chore.
