About me

Engineering meets design meets strategy

I'm Nihal Ray, a UI/UX Designer and Product Strategist based in Rourkela, Odisha. My background spans a B.Tech in Computer Science from Amity University and an Executive MBA from IIM Vizag — a rare combination that lets me design products that aren't just beautiful, but technically feasible and commercially sound.

I've worked on live products across edtech, tech platforms, career services, and brand identity — bringing together user research, high-fidelity design, and go-to-market thinking into everything I build.
