Hey, I'm Nihal Mohammed
A UX designer and entrepreneur. I bridge the digital divide through CSC initiatives, crafting user-centered designs with a keen eye for detail. When not building APIs or networking ISPs, you'll find me riding the scenic trails.
About me
From the moment I first encountered a digital device, I've been captivated by the artistry of pixels. Over the past seven years, I've evolved from an inquisitive hobbyist into a dedicated digital creative designer. My passion lies in crafting digital experiences that seamlessly blend visual appeal with user-centric, intuitive design. When I'm not immersed in my digital canvas, you'll likely find me savoring a cup of coffee or exploring scenic trails on my bike.
Ever since I got my hands on my first digital device, I've been enthralled by the magic of pixels and user experience. Over the 6 Years, I've morphed from a curious enthusiast to a passionate digital product designer. I believe in crafting digital experiences that are not only visually delightful but also human-centered and intuitive.
Outside of my design canvas, you'll find me sipping on a cup of Earl Grey or hiking the scenic trails.
