A little bit about me
- Break it down.
- Assess it.
- Solve it.
- Keep refining.
“Before deciding what we’re going to put there, why don’t we clarify?”
ReportCaster had no documentation, so I sat with Support to watch people work around it and reverse-engineered the engine by hand.
“Design instincts don’t mean anything if you don’t have the evidence or logic to back it up.”
On ML Functions I tried three layouts before a popup won, and brought the veteran engineers along with evidence, not taste.
“When you look at a chair, the only thing that comes to mind is to sit on it.”
12 to 15 clicks became a guided four-step wizard. Four of four technical subject-matter experts then trained a model on their own.
“If we implement this right now, getting from this version to this version will be a breeze.”
ReportCaster’s delivery screen grew from five methods to eight without a redesign.
What leaders say
“She brings a rare combination of strategic thinking, design intuition, and the ability to work seamlessly across product, engineering, and business teams. Any team would be lucky to have her.”
“She approaches her work with a fearless attitude and is never afraid to explore new ideas or directions. Anuja is willing to take on difficult problems and push for creative solutions, even under tight timelines.”
“The clarity of her designs, in spite of the underlying data science and machine learning complexity, is impressive. Her design solutions are rooted in a deep understanding of the purpose of the product.”
“She impressed everyone with how quickly she grasped all aspects of a highly intricate system and translated it into a clear, modern, user-centered design. The kind of UX leader any team would be lucky to have.”
“Her design thinking workshops and prototype walkthroughs often became the foundation for key product decisions, driving clarity and alignment across cross-functional teams.”
“Anticipating the next move of the user, that is next level UI! Her design was clean, intuitive, and clearly addressed the needs of users across different skill levels.”
“Anuja demonstrated exceptional ability to understand intricate workflows and translate them into elegant, user-centric designs that elevated the product’s usability and visual appeal. An invaluable contributor to any design-led team.”
“Smart and very attuned to user needs, she ‘just gets it’ and developed intuitive designs that were very well received by our end users. Dedicated, thoughtful, and highly creative — she’d be an asset to any team.”
The auroras and the ocean have been my dream for as long as I can imagine. I grew up in the coastal city of Mumbai and lived in Boston for a couple of years. The sea and harbors have always been my space — I like spending hours just staring at it. It's my most precious dream as a designer to watch lights dancing in the night sky over the ocean. So I like to bring this side of my mind here, in my work. Seeing it on my site makes me feel alive, somehow.
