How Our Team Looks

We’re a close-knit team of designers, researchers, writers, visual designers. These are super creative minds from different backgrounds and cultures. Different perspectives, one shared love for making things better for our users. We brainstorm, debate, experiment, obsess over details, and occasionally ask, “But what if we tried this?” Our intrapreneurial culture gives us the space to explore ideas, solve tricky problems, and build experiences people love.

Different disciplines. One team. Lots of ideas.

?Product Designers

We turn “this could be better” into “this feels effortless.” Our Product Designers work across Nykaa’s products, making complex things feel simple, intuitive, and delightful. They think about the big picture, sweat the small stuff, and keep iterating until the experience feels just right.

?UX Research

We’re curious. Very curious. Our UX Researchers dig into what customers do, need, think, and sometimes don’t say. Their insights help us uncover opportunities, challenge assumptions, and make better product decisions.

✍️UX Writing

Yes, we really do debate one word. Our UX Writers make sure Nykaa’s products don’t just look good, they sound good too. From tiny bits of microcopy to larger content experiences, they turn complex moments into clear, helpful, and human ones.

⚙️Design Operations

Someone has to keep all the creative chaos moving. Design Operations makes it easier for everyone to do their best work. They think about tools, workflows, collaboration, learning, and culture basically, all the things that help a design team run smoothly.

✨Product Visual Design

Product Visual Design, Illustration & Motion The team that makes us stop and say, “Ooh, nice.” They bring personality to Nykaa through colour, type, illustration, animation, and all the little details in between. They collaborate with Product Designers to turn ideas into experiences that are polished, expressive, and unmistakably Nykaa.
