About Nihal Pimpale

Based in California and fortunate to lead a design team of 150+ super-awesome innovators spread across US, India, UK and SA.

Throughout my career of 15+ years in design industry, I've expanded my boundaries from graphic to user experience to design strategy and now design leadership and worked in diverse verticals including Finance, Retail, and Healthcare.

My current role as a Chief Design Officer at Moonraft Innovation Labs/UST revolves around aligning strategic design-centric journeys and solutions to business metrics, devising novel service offerings, creating avant-garde point-of-views for future scenarios, collaborating with techno-creative teams across geographies, improvising creative processes for design teams, hiring, and mentoring.

Learnt Design Leadership for Business from Parsons School of Design. A Certified Chartered Designer and on jury panels at Design Schools in US and India. Apart from being passionate about design, I practice Gond art, I find love in cooking 👨‍🍳🥘 (still perfecting my skills on baking an artisan bread 🥖 ), reading history and poetry 📖and exploring the micro-universe, specifically tardigrades.
