About
Designer, builder, chronic question-asker.
I’m Mira, a product designer in Bengaluru. I help small teams turn confusing products into ones people get on the first try, and I build the marketing site too.
Story
I started as a front-end developer and kept getting pulled into design reviews because I asked why a screen worked the way it did. Six years later that question is still the job.
Most of my work is with teams of five to fifty who need one designer to own a problem end to end: research, flows, the system underneath, and the shipped build.
Outside work I play basketball badly, guitar slightly better, and I’m always halfway through a book about cities.
How I think
01
Talk to people first
A week with real users saves a month of redesigns.
02
Fewer screens, clearer words
Most UX problems are copy problems wearing a layout.
03
Ship, then sharpen
A tested prototype beats a perfect mockup every time.
