hello!
I’m Nikhil Kapoor, an Industrial Designer with over a decade of experience shaping products that balance function, emotion, and craft. I hold a master’s degree from Institut Supérieur De Design Rubika, and my work has been recognized with international honors including IF, Red Dot, and IDSA awards.
I work as an independent industrial designer, collaborating with global brands and startups to bring thoughtfully engineered products from concept to market. My portfolio spans consumer electronics, furniture, lifestyle accessories, timepieces, personal care, and mobility - many of which are already in production, with others actively moving toward launch.
Alongside client work, I mentor students and young designers through talks, workshops, and one-on-one sessions, continuing the culture of shared learning that shaped my own journey.
My approach to design is grounded in simplicity, usability, and emotional resonance. I believe well-designed products should feel intuitive, purposeful, and quietly meaningful in everyday life.
Outside of work, I actively support animal welfare initiatives, reflecting values of empathy and responsibility that extend beyond design.
To date, I’ve collaborated with 50+ clients worldwide and contributed to over 200 products which each project reinforcing my belief that good design isn’t just seen, it’s felt.
