Hi! I'm Nandini Desai, an impact-driven product designer currently working at the UCSD Healthcare Robotics Lab. I’ve always been passionate about creating streamlined experiences for others and enhancing efficiency. I've always had a creative eye, constantly sketching and doodling in books as a kid, which eventually led me to product design—a perfect blend of my love for practical problem-solving and creative expression.

I currently attend the University of California, San Diego studying Cognitive Science with a specialization in Human-Computer Interaction and minoring in Computer Science. I was raised in the SF Bay Area, and I’m a proud California native ッ

I'm driven by a love for experiential learning, healthcare technology, sustainability and delightful branding. When I'm not churning away on my most recent Figma file, I can be found at local thrift markets, discovering new local coffee shops in San Diego, and learning about the conceptualization of my favorite products on How I Built This.
