Hiya, I'm Nirel.
Curious soul at heart, Product Designer by trade.

I design meaningful technology that serves people, especially for mission-driven organizations.

I started in marketing design for health and hospitality brands, then founded my own studio to help wellness founders bring that same care to their identity and digital presence.

Product design found me in hospitals, where I volunteered and sat beside my grandparents at medical appointments. I watched them wrestle with technology that was supposed to help, and I started asking how design could empower the people I love instead of frustrating them.

Today, I bring a collaborative, business-minded approach shaped by running my own studio. I dig for the root human need in every conversation, then turn it into something simple, accessible, and genuinely useful.
