hello!
I am Nikhil Kapoor, an award-winning Industrial Designer from India, holding a master's degree from the Institut Supérieur De Design Rubika.
Recipient of international awards, including the IF Awards, Red Dot and IDSA, my work has been recognized globally for innovation and craftsmanship. Design is my passion, and my journey has been guided by dedication, curiosity, and a commitment to excellence. Currently, I work as a Freelance Industrial Designer, collaborating with diverse clients to create bespoke, impactful designs.
Alongside freelance projects, I mentor students and recent graduates, sharing insights through webinars and interactive sessions—much like the guidance I once received.
My portfolio is diverse, covering consumer electronics, home and personal care, furniture, lifestyle accessories, timepieces, and transportation products. Many of these designs are already in the market, while others are actively moving from concept to reality.
Beyond industrial design, I engage in UI, packaging, and branding projects, bringing a holistic approach to every challenge. My expertise includes industry-standard tools like Blender, SolidWorks, and KeyShot, enabling me to deliver technically precise and visually compelling outcomes.
At the heart of my approach is a design philosophy centered on simplicity, functionality, and emotional connection—each project is an opportunity to craft meaningful experiences.
Outside of my professional life, I actively advocate for animal welfare through various charitable initiatives, reflecting my personal values of compassion and responsibility.
With over ten years in the field and having collaborated with more than 50 clients globally, I've helped bring over 200 innovative products to life, continually shaping and enriching the world of Industrial Design.
