A little bit about myself

My name is Niharika R. I am a passionate designer driven by a desire to improve lives through thoughtful design. I'm constantly learning and I enjoy connecting with like-minded individuals eager to share ideas. I started my journey as a self-taught designer and honed my skills in UX/UI and product design through workshops, blogs and hands-on projects.

 

I pursued a Masters degree in design, as I envisioned myself flourishing in this field. I took a leap towards the bigger picture, enabling me to excel in end-to-end product development from ideation to deployment. My experience of working in different domains and products has broadened my design thinking approach and I aim to continue to create usable and impactful designs.
