Colleagues describe her as "I worked with Niya at Lily AI as my Design Manager in 2022. During this time, I had the privilege of getting a front row seat to Niya’s approach towards leadership and mentorship. Niya has a strong voice when it comes to advocating for superior user experience without compromising quality. At Lily she relentlessly championed for design thinking in an engineering led culture with lunch and learns, guest speakers, usertesting reels to name a few. One of Niya’s strongest suits is building and fostering cross-functional relationships. Within a few months, she had jump started many key initiatives including voice of customer series, design reviews, lunch and learns and so on. These series saw participation from all departments within the company. These series were so effective that even after she left, her peers had high praise for her ability to bring different teams together and make them think. It also explains why everyone loves working with Niya — no matter where they fall on the org chart. Niya is a designer through and through which translates into empathy for her team and stakeholders alike. I learned a lot from Niya including effective design-developer handoff practices, pushing the boundaries during ideation, and trusting intuition. My design chops grew leaps and bound with her creative direction. In Niya you will find a strong and dedicated leader who is hyper focused on keeping her team inspired, happy, and fulfilled. Her passion and ambition is a constant source of inspiration to me and I cannot recommend Niya enough!" and "When it comes to product design, Niya's talent sits on a stalwart foundation rooted in the customer voice, usability, and potent collaboration with her colleagues. In my experience with Niya, she is able to deliver a product experience that delights and creates enduring workflows with both customers and internal stakeholders. She is able to unpack and understand all stakeholders needs through asking the right questions and soliciting feedback when she feels there may be something missing. Niya's ability to gather evidence from her end users, combined with seriously incredible design abilities allows her to deliver UX frameworks beyond what can be imagined in our own heads. I would gladly work alongside Niya in the future!!"
