Senior product designer
I've built the foundations of data-heavy B2B and AI products.
By understanding the people who use them, and designing systems that scale beyond the screen.

I turned a wall of alerts into one picture managers can read

I fixed an AI console by removing before adding
Seven areas of an enterprise AI console, from the dashboard and access rules to traces, roles and an agent that calls borrowers, redesigned on one rule: remove before adding.

I cut a 10-day screen build to one day
One design system for an AI-native enterprise console, built in code, so the developers and the AI tools they build with could ship the whole product on it.

I designed one card that became eleven dashboards

I turned one ERP into four products, one for each role
Role-based design for UK SMEs: one modular platform for billing, inventory, staff and B2B orders, where four roles get four different products that still feel like one.

I built a design system the founder ships with, without me
A design system for a five-module ERP, structured clearly enough that the founder and AI tools still ship with it after I left.
Read case studyAbout
I'm Nihar, a senior product designer based in Pune. From running a studio to designing inside production code, I've learned to own the whole arc: the first question, the design system, the shipped screen. Today I shape complex B2B and AI products for clarity, for the people who use them and the teams who build them.

How I work
Built for early, product-led teams
Systems first, screens second
Tokens, components and written rules, so developers, PMs and AI tools ship consistent pages without me there.
Design in the real thing
I design against production code and real data, so the problems that only show up there get solved by design.
Own it end to end
I scope, plan and ship without waiting for a brief. Years of running projects and leading teams taught me how.
