Find the decision behind the screen

Before designing, I work out which business call the screen depends on. On UniLeague, that kept the product moving while the league model was still undecided.

Design for whoโ€™s actually there

FatakPayโ€™s users were new to credit, so onboarding became visual and step-by-step. Strataโ€™s engineers wanted certainty, so the menu hides nothing.

Let evidence settle the debate

Heat maps showed shoppers tapping payment logos that did nothing. That finding, not taste, is what justified changing BoxPayโ€™s checkout.

Ship, then keep listening

When FatakEMI users started paying EMIs in parts, I designed for it instead of fighting it. Repayments went up 28%.

Before AI tools, I hand-coded my previous portfolio in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, mostly to learn how my designs get built.


That still pays off. I talk to developers in their terms, catch build issues early, and today I can direct AI to ship working sites and prototypes, like Livogen, the Phillips game and my brotherโ€™s portfolio.

Iโ€™m Nikhil Hari Nair, a Product Designer with a mechanical engineering background and a passion for visual arts. My journey began in engineering, where I sharpened problem-solving and analytical skills, but I discovered my true calling in designโ€”where logic meets creativity.

By blending engineering precision with artistic vision, I craft designs that are both functional and visually compelling. My work spans fintech, IT consultancy, and HRMS, where Iโ€™ve delivered intuitive, user-centered solutions that simplify complex problems.


At heart, Iโ€™m an artist and explorerโ€”constantly curious about people, cultures, and ideas. This helps me empathize deeply with users and design experiences that truly resonate.
