Hey, I'm Mayan, a Product Designer and Developer based in Pune, India, with 7+ years of experience turning complex ideas into products that feel simple and intuitive.
I love owning the full journey. Research, wireframes, polished UI, design systems, and shipping real code in React and Flutter. No handoffs, just seamless execution from start to finish. I also enjoy working with teams across time zones, which has been a nice bonus over the years. But what truly drives me is creating inclusive experiences that work for everyone, especially those often overlooked by traditional interfaces.
Learning never exhausts the mind.

[What Can I Do]
Accessible and Inclusive
I care a lot about making things accessible and inclusive. Some of my favorite projects have been designing for users who struggle with text-heavy interfaces proving that great design can speak without words.

Working Remotely
I work remotely with startups, agencies, and product teams across India, the US, and Europe. Whether it's a quick Slack huddle or async updates across time zones, I've learned how to collaborate smoothly with teams
