about

Hey there. My name is Nikita.

I am an experienced strategist with a big passion for everything venture-related. I love all hardware innovation and breakthrough AI products.

I have a collection of 30+ rare smartphones - their design aesthetics fascinate me - and am developing Klava, a BlackBerry-inspired keyboard for iOS. UX of different OSs inspires my work on Sorta, which I describe as the GUI for AI that breaks away from the constraints of the chatbot.

Big fan of LEGO. Massive fan of metal. Do bouldering, own 3 golf clubs, which naturally makes me a golfer.

Most of what I make and love sits at the intersection of future-looking innovation, timeless design of the past, and fun of the process of combining it all.
