About Me
Hey!👋🏼 I'm Nitya, a multidisciplinary designer specializing in Product Design. Previously I worked at Meta and The New York Times.
I started my design journey at Parsons School of Design. My passion for various topics such as stand up comedy and political economy led me to Product Design. I strive to design with empathy and intentionality and always advocate for users even when its annoying!
My work ranges from designing for big tech and creating design systems from scratch for media publishing companies to helping Stanford start ups receive their first seed funding. I'm happy to jam on any for your business so slide into my email or linkedin!
