Cultural Bridge-Builder & Creative Technologist
Based in London, UK
Designing human-centered technology that bridges cultures, empowers communities, and creates meaningful impact. Where empathy meets innovation, and tradition meets the future.
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.

I believe that travel is more than just ticking off destinations on a list; it's about immersing oneself in different cultures, connecting with people from all walks of life, and broadening one's perspective on the world.
Let's connect and create something amazing together.
