Simon Davies

AI Solutions Engineer / Group Head / Experience Director

Nirmal is a very well liked member of the team at Born XDS; both by colleagues, and clients alike.

His role as senior experience consultant benefits the business through his creative flair, level-headed mindset, expertise in UX and UI - amongst many other qualities.

All of which he's demonstrated by playing lead roles on key client accounts, including complex domains such as Telco.

He is someone that appreciates the creative process, has deep empathy for others, and a respect for the craft of his and others' roles. In short - highly recommended!

UX Design Leader | Experience Design Strategy at BORN, EMEA | Mentor

I had the pleasure of working with Nirmal at BORN XDS, he is a hard working, talented ux designer and very reliable team member.

He is extremely creative and doesn't shy to take on complex problems and come up various solutions to approach it.

He has managed senior stakeholders and has maintained great relationships with clients throughout his tenure.

He is great to work with and would be a valuable asset to any team!

Ola Abolaji

Product Manager at Moniify | Digital Transformation Consultant

I worked with Nirmal at Born Group on O2 Telefónica’s digital transformation for their various brands in Germany. Based in the Enabler Squad, we worked closely with the Product development team members and senior business stakeholders to define business requirements and create global design elements for the new website, app, and e-commerce platforms.

Working with Nirmal was genuinely impressive. He brought a rare combination of strategic thinking and hands-on craft, he was able to zoom out to the big picture in stakeholder conversations, then dive straight into high-quality, considered design work. Nothing felt rushed or generic; every decision had clear intent behind it.

What stood out most was how he kept the project moving. In a complex, multi-brand transformation with a lot of moving parts, Nirmal was a consistent source of clarity and momentum, aligning teams, raising the right questions early, and delivering work that held up under scrutiny from both design and product perspectives.

He’s the kind of designer who makes the people around him better, collaborative, generous with his thinking, and deeply experienced across the full design spectrum. Any organisation would be lucky to have him.

Chuen-Man Chow

R&D Lead at Flui Technologies

I had the pleasure of working with Nirm for several years when we were at iSalon. He was extremely diligent in nature, getting into the detail of what was required from his design, and always wanting to provide options that we could take further. 

He was always going above and beyond, even learning to code to fill gaps in our team.

And of course he was highly creative - his work took our product on in leaps and bounds, arguably well above anything our competitors were doing at the time. 

Above all though, he was a friendly character who got on with everyone, and helped to bring the whole office together. An asset to any business!

Rikki Tronson

General Manager at Salon Manager

I had the pleasure of managing Nirm for a number of years, and he was an outstanding UI/UX professional throughout that time. 

His talent for turning complex requirements into intuitive, user-friendly designs consistently raised the quality of our products.

Beyond his design strengths, Nirm played a key role in the successful deployment of multiple mobile applications, working closely with developers and stakeholders to ensure smooth delivery and a high standard of execution.

He combines creativity with a strong understanding of real-world implementation, which makes him a huge asset to any team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Stuart Palmer

Software Developer at SSSL

Nirm was very exciting to work with, he is a very creative person who is full of ideas and extremely technically competent.

He redesigned a plethora of existing software and data-heavy products with great success as well as leading the way for developers to create interfaces for all-new cloud products, all with the user placed at the centre of the design.

Nirm is also a great personality to work with. Always positive and a very likeable character. It was a pleasure working with him.

Technical Director & Software Engineer | Building Creative, AI-Driven Products for the Web

I had the pleasure of working alongside Nirm for over 4 years.

We worked on a number of projects together, where his design and UX skills really helped to deliver above and beyond the client expectations.

His skills include product, illustration, design and user experience and can happily deliver quality work time and time again.

I miss working with Nirm, he never failed to make the days enjoyable and he'd be a credit to any team in the future.

John Noddings

MD at Blaze Design

Nirm is a highly creative designer and front end developer, and a very likeable guy. 

I employed Nirm at Blaze Design for over 5 years, initially as a web designer.

Although his role expanded to include a multitude of online disciplines, along with project and freelance management.

His experience, confidence and talent ensured that Blaze delivered outstanding work to its clients.

Nirm is comfortable client facing and working alone or as part of a team. Nirm would be a great asset to any business.

Shelley Ashby

Art worker

I had the privilege to work with Nirmal for many years and he not only has the incredible ability to focus and do a job well but to make the work environment a fun and enjoyable place.

He is an incredibly skilled artist in his own right and he uses that creativity in his computer work.

There is no problem he can’t solve once he sets out to do so, and he has always been willing to help me with anything I need help with.

He is a very adapt and knowledgeable team player, a pleasure to work with and also very motivated working on his own. 

I’m very glad to have worked with him and he’s the first person I’d go to if I needed his skills.
