Nimisha Vijay
Coach *
Nimisha is a UX designer based in Berlin. With a background in engineering, she ventured into design as a contributor to the open source collaboration platform Nextcloud. She soon transitioned into a full time UX designer and spends her time there working with the open source community to build a better internet. She is a core member of the Open Source Design community, with experience organising events, speaking about ways to contribute, and studying the relationship between open source and design. Nimisha understands designing in low-resource contexts, scrappy user research, and leveraging community as a strength. She has also explored research in privacy and cybersecurity, with a paper published at a top security conference. Nimisha believes in privacy, agency, and control over your life on the internet and is fascinated by how a community can help achieve that.
