Tech as a medium
The tech is only as exciting as the ideas. A good idea looks good even on a piece of paper. Anyone who says software isn't art is lying.
On process and research
No one-process-fits-all approach. Every project is different. No retrofitting research to confirm our biases.
Coordinates of magic
It's a point in space and time where human interacts with technology. All interactions have the potential to feel magical.
Logic leads the way
I don't rely solely on numbers to make decisions. I make logical hypotheses in order to make progress. And then test them.
Visualise the shape of things
Quick and detailed prototypes help us visualise how interactions actually feel. I iterate until something feels just right.
Intuition and opinion
Trust your intuition and have an opinion. The point of making software is to share your point-of-view on how things should be.

His approach to designing products is tightly knit with other functions — he communicates equally well with business stakeholders and backend engineers. Nitesh very quickly understands requirements, puts them in context with user expectations and strategic goals, and has a well-tuned intuition for the right direction from the get-go. I was always looking forward to his design presentations."
