Available for summer 2026 internships

Aanya Patel

Product design student at NID. I make small interfaces that feel inevitable.

Currently

I sketch on paper, prototype in Figma, and ship in Webflow.

I'm in my final year of product design at NID, where I spend most of my time building tools for designers. I care about typography, the right amount of friction, and the smell of new sketchbooks.
