I am Himani, a product designer from Raleigh.
I started my professional career as a graphic designer, after completing my Bachelor’s degree in Advertising and Marketing, and shortly after getting a certification in Print Media, Visual Effects & Motion Graphics I entered the world of broadcast.
During my career, I have worked for leading broadcasters around the world as a real-time broadcast designer. I started working as a Designer for a broadcasting graphics company called Wasp3d, then went on to become a Product Specialist. As a product specialist, working on several projects that had me work directly with clients, understanding their needs, and coming up with solutions in form of product features, I discovered my passion for product designing.

MY DESIGN PROCESS
OVERVIEW
Nectar imports run-orders produced by third-party scheduling softwares. Using the schedule file, the rule engine populates the secondary graphic instances for every show segment.
​
These run-orders are used both by Nectar and the automation system like NRCS, resulting in the rundowns becoming synchronized between the two. Any last minute modifications in the automation system will be reflected in the playlist. This also eliminates the need of adding GPI devices to send commands to the graphic systems.
