Hi there!
I’m Nikita Rochiramani, a designer based out of Philadelphia, PA. I’ve spent the last 6 years brainstorming ideas, making design decisions, patiently listening to stakeholders, and incorporating last-minute client requests while sipping coffee & hoping to recover crashed Illustrator files. I'm an accidental designer who has received the best of both, corporate and entrepreneurial experience, as a part of my design journey in the industry.

My entrepreneurial expedition began in 2015 when I co-founded Paper Towers, a small business that creates handmade gifts, to spread smiles through my designs. With the zeal to dive deeper into the field of visual design, I took up a corporate job and simultaneously managed Paper Towers part-time. Eventually, I realized that my core strength lies in problem-solving using design as a medium. I see every problem as an opportunity to create user-centric experiences that are visually appealing and functionally viable, and this motivated me to make UX design my mainstream career. When not working, I’m probably working out or reading a book or busy convincing the world that eggs are as vegetarian as milk.
