Hiya, I'm Nirel!
Curious soul at heart, Product Designer by trade.
Curious soul at heart, Product Designer by trade.
Iβm the founder of Oolong Studio, where I channel the beauty I see in others into both visual identity work and digital products that help businessesβand peopleβblossom. While I love building brands, my heart lies in designing innovative solutions that genuinely improve lives, especially in health-tech.
My passion for UX stems from a combination of personal experiences: watching my immigrant parents care for others, supporting my grandparents, assisting older customers at Apple, and volunteering in hospitals. Iβve seen how technology can either empower or frustrate the people we love most, and Iβm driven to make it empowering.
Drawing from my experience of running my own creative studio, working in tech, and design marketing, I bring a collaborative, business-minded approach to every project. I specialize in listening deeply and cultivating awareness to the root human need that layers through conversations and translating them into elegant, accessible solutions that prove simplicity and beauty can be purposeful.

Design Philosophy
Lead with Curiosity.
I dig deep with open-ended questions, believing creativity and story spark the best solutions.
Collaboration sparks the brightest ideas.
Great design comes from many voices. Thoughtful listening and open feedback shape every outcome.
Simplicity with Heart.
"Keep it simple, silly!" is one of my mottos. Simple, accessible design empowers everyone to benefit from technology.
