Who am I?

Things that I absolutely love make me who I am. My design journey started in my school time when I was blown away with my first experience with the smartphones and one OS in particular windows phone 7.5 in new Nokia Lumia.


I saw this advertisement on TV- tiles moving, pages flipping in UI and smooth transitions, it was Nokia Lumia 800 TVC.


I didn’t know much about OS or UI or anything about design, but that video whenever I watched it… I loved watching it again and again (check it out below).

There are multiple other things that I enjoy doing and they expand my horizon of understanding the world around us-

Cinema

I love cinema and good storytelling, I am the guy who will watch a movie and after watching it, he will spend more time reading and watching interviews of directors, cinematographers, music directors, writers and VFX artists to understand their process that brought such unique outcome.

My favourite movies include-


  • Interstellar

  • Blade Runner 2049

  • Dune

  • Tron Legacy

  • Top Gun: Mavericks

  • The Batman 2022

  • Iron Man 2008

  • John Wick

  • The Big Short

  • The Imitation Game

Science

Everything around me makes me curious all the time, that’s why I have come very close to astronomy and science in general. I get most of my answers by searching deep for my curiosity.


I love pondering in topics that are found in school science books, I guess I am still stuck in childhood that way somewhere.

And Good Design

I love listening to experienced designers from different design domains e.g. Architecture, Photography, Car design and more. One thing that has helped me a lot as a designer is to study work of my fav designers, try to be in their shoes to understand why certain decisions have been made.


I am a fan of great product videos, you can often find me watching some new product release video on loop (yeah those videos produced by apple).


Well, that's all about me for today. Connect with me @nihalnova on twitter or insta to know more. Thanks a lot.
