Hi! I’m Nriti Tayi, an 11-year-old from sunny California. My name means “Beautiful,” and I’m about to turn 12 soon. I love expression, spreading happiness and making people smile. Also, a dreamer, youtuber and design thinker. Whether I’m chatting with friends, sketching ideas, or dancing, I bring positive energy to everything I do!

What I Love

• Startups & Shark Tank: I love watching Shark Tank! It’s so cool to see entrepreneurs pitch their ideas. I like to sketch out my own business ideas too!
• Investing in Stocks: I started investing when I was 9! I'm still learning (with my parents' help), but it's like solving a fun puzzle. I love tracking how my investments grow.
• Sketching & Design Thinking: I enjoy sketching and using design thinking to solve problems. It’s fun to draw out ideas and make them real!
• Dancing: I’m a Bharatanatyam dancer and also love dancing to Bollywood music. It’s like telling stories through movement!
• Talking & Expressing Myself: I’m a total chatterbox! I love talking to friends, family, and even new people at events I meet. Sharing my ideas and hearing others’ thoughts is the best!
