Het Nakhua

From pixels to prototypes to production — I build products that feel good, function better, and always put people first.

I am driven by empathetic storytelling, human connection, & tech for social good.

I’m Het — a design engineer who crafts intuitive digital experiences and brings them to life with code. Currently based in Mumbai, India.

I specialize in crafting end-to-end digital products, blending design and full-stack development to create seamless, user-focused experiences.

At Local, a startup backed by Northwestern, I was the first design hire and led all design output — from advertising, to the website, to the mobile app, and the digital dashboard. The platform now has a $714,000 valuation and 80% vendor retention.

Beyond Local, I’ve built products around cleanliness and public awareness, speech accessibility for children, and community-driven digital platforms. My work often sits at the intersection of social good, inclusivity, and thoughtful systems — creating tools that aim to serve real human needs.
