Ola Abolaji

Product Manager, Monify

was at Born Group

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, 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, Flui Technologies

was at SSSL

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!

Shelley Ashby

Art worker, Blaze Design

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 adept 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.
