Hi! I’m Nikesh Kumar, a product designer with a passion for exploring cultures and connecting with people. My interdisciplinary background in UX and Computer Science, combined with my interests in photography and dancing, allows me to approach design from a unique perspective.Currently, I’m a graduate student at the University of Michigan, with a year of software development experience and a bachelor’s degree in that field. During my time as a software developer, I created three products from the ground up. However, I found myself yearning for a deeper connection with the people using my work. This drive to understand their pain points led me to pursue a graduate degree in UX, where I've honed my research and communication skills while diving into the intersections of art, culture, and technology.As I approach graduation, I’m eager to learn more about how collaborative teams work to make technology more contextually and culturally aware for people!
