INDEX / BIOGRAPHY

Rishikesh Nighot

Interaction / Product Designer — generalist by thinking, specialist by practice.

I strive to live by my work values — precision, balance and discipline.

My vocation is in pursuit of systems that seamlessly come together, experiences that elegantly convey ideas, and interactions that challenge conventions.

Design is communication. For me, clarity and momentum are a formidable duo.
