Hello! I'm Nihal, and I'm a final year Industrial Design student at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, India.
​
My design journey at NID has taught me to always put the user foremost in mind, while also encouraging my natural propensity to gather and assimilate as much knowledge as possible, to implement into my work.
​
My goal is to create honest, empathic design to best serve the needs of the users of objects and experiences everywhere.
​
I work chiefly in the fields of Industrial Design and User Experience Design. I am equally capable of working on solo as well as collaborative projects. I am passionate about learning, focusing on the user's needs and storytelling through the user experience.
​
Outside the world of design, my interests lie in reading, sports (football and Formula 1), videogames and travelling.
