Hi it's Mhanaj!
Product Designer here 👋

Design is an act of attention
Noticing who gets left behind before anyone asks you to. Everything gets drawn three times: rough enough to argue with, clear enough to test,real enough that anyone can actually see it.
Move your cursor - watch it come into focus.

About

Mhanaj

I design for people.
Always have.

I'm Mhanaj,
and I design for people, especially the ones most designs leave behind.

Three years in, I've been hired first as a researcher and later trusted with the design itself, more than once. Accessibility isn't a feature I add at the end, it's usually the thing nobody else noticed, and I've built a habit of noticing it first.
