Niteesh Yadav — Design Manager
I’m Niteesh, a design leader and independent researcher working at the edge of intefaces, reading, and type. My explorations sit at the intersection of HCI, typography, spatial computing and culture, reimagining how we read, interact and communicate, whether through AR glasses or familiar screens. I currently lead global design as Director of Design and Research at Pocket FM across FM, Novels and Toons. Over the last 14+ years, my work has spanned product design leadership, AR/VR research, large-scale design systems, and multi‑script typography. At Pocket FM, I’m driving a multi‑phase transformation of the products across quality, team structure, design operations and cross‑functional alignment. The focus is simple: build high‑performance teams, raise quality benchmarks, and deliver experiences that scale across markets and platforms. Alongside industry work, I’m known for research in spatial typography. My guidelines for AR/VR Typography were published on Google Fonts and referenced by teams at Meta, Google, Adobe. I speak often about the future of reading, adaptive typography and design for spatial environments. I enjoy simplifying complexity, building systems that last, and mentoring designers to reach their potential. Whether a growing consumer app or an emerging spatial interface, I thrive in shaping the bridge between design, engineering and product strategy with accessibility as care and craft as practice.
