Nimi Martins

Hi!

I’m Nimi, a Vancouver-based product designer passionate about co-creating with communities and using design to encourage meaningful dialogue.

My Design Philosophy

My design philosophy is based on the principle of Pluriversalism rather than Universalism. I believe in customizing solutions and design research processes to suit the distinct contexts and needs of users. Effective design, in my view, should capture the nuances of individual experiences instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. This emphasis on specificity enables me to create more meaningful and impactful interactions.

My Design Practice

Community Engagement

My work in community engagement centers around fostering connections and support within diverse communities…..

Product Design

As a product designer, I’ve led design initiatives at Simpu, a B2B SaaS company focused on streamlining business communication and customer relations….

I imagine a world where design is not an endpoint but a conversation—a conversation that is as multifaceted as the communities it engages.
