Hi! I'm Mrunmai 👋
I’m a UX Designer and Researcher who loves creating user-focused, accessible solutions. With a background in computer engineering and human-computer interaction, I blend creativity with technical know-how to design products that are not only innovative but also practical for developers.
My design philosophy centers around deeply understanding user needs, ensuring inclusivity, and building cohesive systems that provide seamless experiences.
Oh, and I have a bit of a Shazam-like talent— I can guess songs as quickly as it can!
