“Nandini’s contributions to CloudMondo as a user experience advocate were invaluable. I had the pleasure of working with her on several features of our consumer apps. She was the teams resident Android pattern expert and had answers available at a drop of a dime. Aside from producing work flows and wireframes, Nandini also contributed to visual design and asset preparation for our front end developers. Like all great designers, Nandini has an incredible amount of empathy for the end user. But what really sets her apart is her drive to engage and elicit the right answer for the problem put in front of her; “just one more question.” I highly recommend Nandini as a valuable addition to any UX team.”
