Hear it from the folks who have worked with me ~

Ron Severdia

VP of UX Design

In a relatively short time, Manali made meaningful contributions across several important initiatives. She played a key role in building interactive prototypes that had a direct and positive impact on both the user experience and our research capabilities.

One of her greatest strengths is openness to feedback and different perspectives.

Joash Pereira

Design Manager

Alongside her design craft, she developed strong business acumen and a deeper understanding of how product decisions are made.
She was thoughtful, adaptable, and consistently raised the bar as her responsibilities grew. Manali brings both strong design skills and sound judgment, and I'd confidently recommend her to any team.

Maninder Saini

Product Leader

She’s one of the most reliable and self-driven designers I have worked with.

What stood out was how Manali stepped up to lead larger, more complex projects with confidence, driving work from start to finish, while collaborating smoothly with product managers, developers and other designers. Her use of AI tools for early prototyping has brought genuine efficiency to the exploration phase with faster momentum, better quality and informed decisions earlier in the process.

Divyaa Bhargava

Design Manager

Manali navigates ambiguity well. Whether it was a shifting product brief or an undefined problem space, she approached it with maturity and conviction, knowing when to push back as a designer and when to adapt.
What I appreciate most is her commitment to growth beyond the obvious. She is naturally more introspective, but I watched her step into community and public-facing spaces as a speaker and collaborator, with increasing confidence and presence.
