Nani Vishwanath

Nani Vishwanath (she/her) serves as Senior Strategist for Inclusive Design at REI Co-op, where she works across teams and the outdoor industry to embed inclusion into products, experiences, and storytelling. With a background spanning higher education, technology, retail, marketing, and social impact, Nani brings a human-centered, systems-level approach to inclusive design—grounded in the belief that meaningful belonging is created with communities, not for them, and that the outdoor industry is stronger when more people feel seen, heard, and understood. Her work focuses on translating values into action and helping organizations move beyond performative efforts toward lasting, community-led change.
