I’m Mallika Simone, a senior interaction designer who loves turning research and information architecture into clear, human-centered experiences. My background spans interaction design, UX, and responsive UI work, with a strong focus on prototyping, testing, and refining details through iteration. I’ve worked across product and consulting-style teams, collaborating on end-to-end experience design—from concept and research to UI and visual design, design workshops, and presentation. I also bring a workshop-friendly communication style that helps teams align quickly and move from ideas to workable prototypes.
