Designing congruent spaces for humans, agents and interfaces.
I'm Nishad, a design engineer at ASU's Learning Engineering Institute.
I design and build tools for people and AI agents, choosing where automation helps and where people need control.
About meA river stays for all of history, yet all of its water changes. Its soil, its plants and its fish change too. Civilizations start and end at rivers. So what is a river, when all of it changes? It is calm and violent, rapid and gentle. That is how I see my work: always flowing and changing, with a permanence in its shape.

About

This is me at a lighthouse in South Portland, Maine. Went in hoping to survive on Arizona training. Immediately learned my lesson.
Ears and nose completely frozen, still smiling for the camera. Bought a wool hat the very next morning. Thought the views were worth the freeze.
