hello world!
i'm nandini

a little bit about me

I’m a passionate UI/UX designer and front-end developer currently residing in Boston, MA. I’m a senior at Northeastern University majoring 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 the city with my friends!
