About Nikhil Dev
Sr. UX Designer at Google DeepMind
I currently lead UX Design for Gemini agentic experiences at Google DeepMind. Previously with Google Assistant, Google Cloud, Intuit, Cisco, Peepal Design and have co-founded 2 tech startups.
I've worked both as a solo Designer wearing multiple hats and in team settings working closely with a team of Designers, PMs, and Engineers, and cross-functional partners.
I've had multiple career transitions in the past 15 years: from software engineering to founding a tech startup to a UX Designer to an intrapreneur. I'd love to share my experience and some helpful tips for folks making their next move.
When I’m not working, you'll find me making a painting or setting up a new terrarium.
