VIKAS SINGH

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DESIGN

Alright, I’ll try not to bore you with a textbook résumé intro — let’s keep this simple and honest. In short, I’m a Multidisciplinary designer currently pursuing my Master’s in Universal Design at NID Bengaluru. I’m obsessed with building solutions that actually work for people especially when accessibility, inclusivity and “real world challenges” enter the picture. I started my journey in design with physical products (yes, the world of backpacks, travel gear, VM, materials, prototyping all the fun, messy stuff). That hands-on experience taught me something no UX book ever did: people don’t just need products, they need products that understand them. Over the years, I moved from designing things you can touch to designing experiences you can feel blending UX, product thinking, storytelling, and systems design. Whether I’m redesigning a metro waste bin for visually impaired users or reimagining a digital product flow, my approach stays the same: 👉 listen deeply, simplify fearlessly, design responsibly. What I love doing besides designing screens: Helping people discover simpler ways to solve complex problems Turning chaos into clarity (Figma is basically my meditation space) Studying accessibility in India and how design can bridge social gaps Experimenting with AR/VR tools and future tech And of course making music, DJing, and playing with rhythms whenever I can A little backstory: Before NID, I worked at Adventure Worx, where my job was everything design from product innovation to packaging to digital presence. Before that came Titan, Samsonite, and Flipkart, each teaching me something new about users, business, and the craft of design. Today, my goal is simple: build things that make life easier, kinder, and more intuitive for people no matter their ability, background, or context. 🦋 Outside work? I’m usually traveling, collecting stories, exploring music, or learning something random that somehow finds its way into my design process. If you’re into design, accessibility, product strategy, or just curious about perspective-shifting ideas you’ll feel at home here.
