Hola 👋
I am Sonaal Bangera. I have been designing products for the last 10 years. Lit Design is a weekly newsletter where I write about product design, UX/UI, cool new services and share delightful design references that may help you build better products or just stay in the loop.
My background
I cofounded NFN Labs along with my awesome partners back in 2011. We’re an independent design & development studio specialising in UX /UI, Web & Mobile App Development as well as new age platforms like (Apple TV, Apple Watch, and more). Bootstrapped and profitable since day one, we work 4 days a week and ship user-centric, beautiful and functional solutions. Our work has been featured in The Verge, TechCrunch, MacStories, Gizmodo, LifeHacker, Beautiful Pixels, Mashable, The Next Web, Product Hunt and many more.
I absolutely love side hustles and continue to actively work on them
🚀 GoLimitless - Positivity, life lessons and wisdom via minimal artwork & design.
🚩 Design Minimal - Shipping cool minimal tees across India.
💧 Water - Minimal reminder app - featured by Apple on the App Store.
🙏 6 Pillars - Define, track and reflect periodically on the core pillars of your life.
👀 Vookmark - Bookmark videos, watch them later anytime on any device.
⚡️ Storm It - Easy tweetstorms on Twitter. Top 40 Android apps - TheNextWeb
🧹 Screeny - Manage media on iOS - Top 10 paid apps - MacStories, AppAdvice
I also co-founded Kabadiwalla Connect where we focus on decentralised waste management and waste-collection solutions for cities in the developing world — powered by the informal sector. Our commercial pilots have been implemented in India, Indonesia and the Ivory Coast. As featured by National Geographic, Ellen Macarthur Foundation and the World Economic Forum.
🔥 Lit Design is dedicated to talking about design, delightful experiences, product development, building teams in non-crazy but unique work environments, enjoying the journey and everything in between that I have learnt over the last 10 years.
Sounds interesting?
Cheers,
Sonaal
