hello world!
i'm nandini

a little bit about me

I’m a passionate UI/UX designer and front-end developer currently residing in Sunnyvale, CA. I graduated Northeastern University with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science and Design. I believe in designing with empathy and using the language of design to bring humans and technology together. When I’m not juggling Figma boards, or tearing at my hair as I debug my code, I enjoy reading, cooking and exploring new places with my friends!
