About

Hello! I’m Manaj, a Senior Product Designer with 12 years in product and UX design and five years in web/graphic design. I thrive in B2B SaaS, content marketing, and martech, delivering AI-assisted design systems, usability improvements, and data-driven experiments that move the needle for web and mobile platforms.

I enjoy turning research into practical design, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and building scalable design systems. I’m excited to bring AI-driven product development experience to the next generation of products for web and mobile.
