Hi, I’m Anusha, a product designer with experience designing user-focused digital products for startups. I’ve worked on dashboards, mobile apps, and scalable design systems, with a strong focus on simplifying complex workflows into clean and intuitive experiences. I enjoy collaborating closely with fast-moving teams, turning ideas into polished products, and contributing across UX, visual design, and product strategy.

I’m excited about opportunities where I can create meaningful user experiences and grow alongside ambitious teams.
