Hi, I'm Nihar
I design systems that think, then ship them in code.
Currently at Air India DesignLAB, where I've built design infrastructure serving 450+ daily users across aviation operations. Designer by training (NID, BFA), developer by practice (React, TypeScript, Three.js), systems thinker by obsession.
I specialize in reducing decision latency — that split-second gap between thought and action in digital interfaces.
From Pixels to Production
Each chapter taught me a different language. Together, they made me fluent in building systems that scale.
Right Now
Building design systems at Air India. 450+ daily users. Aviation UX.
Belief
Interfaces should breathe, remember, and evolve. Reduce time between thought and action.
How I Work
Systems thinking. Creative coding. Data-driven design. Prototyping first.
How I Think: Books, Games, and Systems
I learn from stories, systems, and simulations. Here's what's shaping how I design right now.
Gödel, Escher, Bach
by Douglas Hofstadter
Strange loops and self-reference shape how I think about recursive design systems and emergent complexity.
Baldur's Gate 3
by Larian Studios
Emergent narratives from systemic design. Every choice branches into consequence trees—pure systems thinking.
Let's build something that breathes
