About

I'm Nabin. I turn complicated workflows into software people can actually use.

Kathmandu, 2026

Senior product designer, nine years in. Currently at Viveka Health, designing platforms used by US healthcare organizations to manage eligibility, claims, and care coordination.

I started in graphic design and moved into product in 2016. The craft mindset stuck — the problems just got harder.

The work

Making complex software feel less complex.

Most of my time goes into design systems — the infrastructure that makes every other screen easier to build. I've architected four of them. Good systems aren't about perfect Figma files; they're about making the next designer, engineer, and PM faster.

“Enterprise software doesn't have to feel like enterprise software.”

The rest of my time goes into workflows nobody wants to touch: eligibility, claims, provider search, digital waivers. The screens enterprise users stare at for eight hours a day. When they're good, nobody notices — which is the point.

How I work

Four things I actually do — not beliefs, habits.

I think in systems, not screens.

I map the whole context before touching pixels. Slower at the start, much faster at the finish — and it's how you avoid shipping the same thing three different ways across a product.

I design for everyone, including the keyboard.

WCAG 2.1 AA is my baseline, not my ceiling. I keyboard-test before I ship, run contrast checks inside the design pass, and write real labels before I visualize components.

I work with engineers, not at them.

I loop engineers in before I've fallen in love with a solution. Handoff docs explain why, not just what. I stay around after handoff — the edge cases always show up.

I ship. Then I iterate.

A 90% solution users can react to beats a 100% solution that ships in six months. Iteration with real data wins every time.

Experience

Nine years, three roles, one direction.

Graphic Designer

Creo Communications · Creative Agency

Print, editorial, brand identity, and early web work for a range of clients. Where I learned the fundamentals of craft, grids, typography, and talking to people whose first language wasn't design.

When I'm not designing, I'm usually doing something with my hands — or getting out of breath.
