Nikhil Dev Email & Phone Number

Nikhil Dev is a Product Design at Google DeepMind at Google DeepMind. He possess expertise in interaction design, user experience design, user interface design, information architecture, user research and 12 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I hired Nikhil, first, into a difficult role as the lone designer supporting a large engineering organization in our India Development Center in Bangalore. As a Product Designer surrounded by engineers, many might resign themselves to "doing what they're told" -- not Nikhil. He championed our customers, passionately. He set up a design booth to provide experience consults during hackathons. He led bravely from the whiteboard and over the shoulders of engineers. He built an incredible brand for himself - one that endures to this day. So we moved him to the US - where he grew enormously. Most recently, he was awarded an opportunity to spend a year investigating the unmet need of our small business customers. He did this with his characteristic curiosity and energy. He relentlessly prototyped his way to understanding customer needs and, as always, used design to understand the problem and shape the vision. In my career full of talented design hires, Nikhil has the distinction of being the one who has moved the furthest - in experience, in confidence, and of course - in miles. He's an excellent designer, a customer advocate, and a curious soul. He has proven successful both as a designer of One and in a team of 20.", "I had the distinct pleasure of working with and managing Nikhil for 3 years. During that time Nikhil was a trusted member of our product design team who delivered thoughtful, well executed experiences with a strategic point-of-view. His work and ideas touched almost every aspect of our core offering including cross-product initiatives, technically challenging design system implementation (across thousands of screens!), and visions of future product experiences. Nikhil is a data and experiment driven designer. He balances his quant metrics with qualitative data by conducting interviews and observational research. He has the skills to rapidly prototype experiences and get immediate feedback from customers to help reduce executional risk and provide new insights for the business. An example of this is when he successfully lead design and experimentation to deliver a improved onboarding experience for our customers. Nikhil was also our “go-to” designer when the organization needed ideas that were step-change innovations to provoke stakeholders. He created a vision for our product that was presented in our FY19 strategy kickoff to the entire organization. Nikhil, is an amazing designer who has a passion for people, solving their problems, and doing it in a way that seems effortless. My only hope is I can work with him again in the future.", and "Nikhil is one of the best designers I've had the pleasure of working with. He's both technically skilled and very creative, as you'd expect from a top designer. But, that's table stakes. Nikhil is also a lot of fun to work with. Spending hours and weeks with a designer to create and test products can be stressful, but Nikhil makes everything easier. There were projects we worked on together that required is to conduct multiple product tests a day, then work into the night analysing the data and revising the product designs. I can't think of another designer that is more customer focused, positive minded, and hard working that Nikhil."
