ABOUT

A designer who thinks in flows, systems and small details.

Six-plus years in design, starting with brands and video and now focused on digital products. I bring both craft and structure to every screen.

Hi, I'm Nakul.

I'm a product and UI/UX designer with 6+ years of design experience, creating user-centred mobile apps, responsive websites and enterprise platforms. My work spans user research, wireframing, prototyping, design systems and usability testing, always grounded in how real people actually use a product.

Before product design, I worked as a freelance graphic designer and video editor from 2019 to 2025. That gave me a strong visual foundation in composition, typography and motion that I now bring into intuitive, scalable digital experiences.

At PRYM Solutions I design across agri-tech and operations platforms, from farmer-facing apps to tools for drone pilots, working closely with engineering so what ships matches what was designed.

A few fun facts

Editing roots

Started in video editing before design. Timing and pacing still shape how I think about interaction.

Grid obsessed

Can't resist turning on the 8px grid within seconds of opening a new Figma file.

Field research fan

Prefers talking to actual farmers and field agents over reading survey data alone.

Deadline driven

Six years of client work taught a healthy respect for shipping on time, every time.
