Nirali Profile_edited.jpg

Hello! I am Nirali, a Physician-turned-Service Design Strategist with over 10 years of experience. I bridge the critical gap between clinical realities and design innovation. I specialize in translating complex medical ecosystems into safe, intuitive, and digitally integrated care experiences. I have led cross-functional teams to deliver systemic transformation for major health organizations. In my free time, I study neuro-aesthetics and explore how interior design shapes mental well-being.

"Working with Nirali has been a fantastic experience. As a service designer she brings a high level of focus, dedication, and imagination to everything she does. Her ability to approach complex problems, as well as think on her feet as curve balls was always impressive. Taking her talent as a service designer and pairing it with her training as a doctor makes it all the more rewarding to design and work with Nirali in the healthcare space."

– Tom Manning, Principal Designer Sutter Health
