About Me

18 years old, infinite possibilities

"

Hi, I'm Nika, I'm 18, and I'm passionate about building technology that puts people first. I describe myself as a continuous learner and cultural bridge-builder, because I'm always exploring new skills while drawing from my Iranian and Pakistani heritage to bring fresh perspectives into my work.

Through experiences like designing my own interactive app (How Many People), rebranding a charity with South Asian influences, and working with organizations like Tripledot Studios, Ernst and Young, Computacenter, and London Youth, I've learned how to blend innovation with empathy. Whether it's IT planning, UX/UI concepts, or creative campaigns, I focus on solutions that don't just function, they genuinely care about the people they serve.

As an advocate for inclusion, I naturally notice where people might feel left out, and I work to bring them in, whether in tech, design, or everyday life. Looking ahead, I see my path at the intersection of tech, creativity, and empathy: crafting accessible, meaningful solutions in areas like UX/UI design, digital health, and socially impactful apps.
