Nidhi Singh Rathore Civic Design • Design Research & Strategy

Nidhi is a multi-disciplinary creative based out of Washington, D.C. She applies design methodologies to reimagine civic infrastructure. Her value centered practice focuses on deconstructing nebulous concepts, bringing people together, and breaking down complex problems—for better and equitable services. She has spent the past four years in the local government. She has collected a range of partners, collaborators, and clients in the last few years, starting from ArtCenter College of Design, City of Los Angeles, Cedars-Sinai Cancer Research Center for Health Equity, Stanford University, Stanford Impact Labs, to Montgomery County Government. The few hours she has left in the day she uses to mentor design students through Designmatters at ArtCenter or Coding It Forward during the summer. She holds a master’s degree from ArtCenter College of Design and an undergraduate diploma in Visual Communication from the National Institute of Design.
