Based in Chandigarh, India
With a keen interest in human psychology and user-centered design, I found my passion in creating meaningful and intuitive experiences through design. Having worked with companies like SAP, Oracle, Accenture, TCS & top-notch clients like Google, T-Mobile, CVS Health, and Deutsche Telekom, I specialize in taking an idea from concept to wireframes to a functional prototype.

“Nishant was my mentor for the second phase of my Design Lab UX Academy course. These are a few things I observed about my experience as his mentee. He is very passionate about his students and constantly sent us resources and advice. He was constantly helping us help each other (a sign of a very good teacher) and referred us to other students or links that would inspire us or help us solve design or tool problems. He somehow knew when I felt unmotivated and checked in on me to make sure I was on track. He knew my weaknesses and pain points and suggested solutions - I feel more detail-oriented in my designs now. His standards were high when mine weren’t - he knew I could always do better which really pushed me to know and love my work. He focused the sessions on our work and did not waste any time - he was very efficient and orderly during our sessions, tackling one topic of discussion at a time. He gave me great advice about interviews, job search preparation and information about the current industry. I loved hearing about his own journey in tech to get to where he is now as it was very inspiring. I am grateful to have gotten to know and work with Nishant Bali!”
