Hi, I'm Nishtha.
I turn a flock of unpredictable AI agents into a platform people can trust. I'm currently doing this at Workato, where I lead design and research.
Some tinkering. A few musings.

My training spans physical product design, visual communication, psychology, and human factors, across a bachelor’s and two master’s degrees. Today, I lead Product Design and Research at Workato.
Before Workato, I co-founded MyNewsStudio. We built a good product, but the business model wasn’t viable, and we tried to do too much at once. We eventually wound down the company. That experience taught me to look beyond the product and to be more deliberate about what to say no to.
Before software, I designed tabletop accessories for Episode, an Indian design brand. Sixteen years later, elements of that work are still sold and used to market the collection. I’ve also created art installations, designed luxury retail spaces, and worked as a design merchandiser.
I’m looking to build with companies, in software or hardware, where the hard part is making powerful systems people can trust.
