About
Hi, I'm Nishtha Luhadia. I'm an industrial designer from National Institute of Design, Andhra Pradesh, India.
​
I'm an inherently curious person, with a passion for all things materials, trend research and CMF design.
I have a keen interest towards material innovation, speculative futures and circular design; and believe that as designers, we have the responsibility to design for a better future, not just for ourselves but for the planet.
​
I am always on the lookout for new opportunities to co-create, collaborate, learn and grow.
Feel free to reach out :)
