Hello, I am Mudra

My strength lies in my ability to align design with business goals, scaling a product from 0-to-1, introducing a design-first approach in a technical environment, and advocating for responsible AI.

People are complex and ever-evolving. Witnessing self-growth (self and others') is one of life's greatest privileges. which is one of the reasons why I dislike putting myself in a box or in a few lines that typically go in sections like these.

me!

My current role

I lead design at two early-stage startups: EVE, where we’re streamlining meeting scheduling, and Evercred, where we’re building a first-of-its-kind credential wallet for medical professionals. I also advise Aboda Design, a company solving the affordable housing shortage problem in Colorado; and Constalytic AI, a company that is bringing AI innovation to the construction management world.

In the past I have worked at Google, Kinesys, Vunet and Medtronic

My work spans AI, SaaS, healthcare, and advertising. At Kinesys AI, I designed an AI-powered mortgage platform, increasing customer acquisition by 300% in three months. At Google, I developed new UI components for Campaign Manager 360’s mobile app, enhancing navigation and usability. At Vunet Systems, I introduced a user-centered design culture, led the redesign of their flagship AI operations platform, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to create Explainable AI dashboards that emphasized transparency.

Been known to observe people & patterns circa ‘98.

My love for maps and organizing information made me to sign up for a class called Creative Design Practices during grad school, where I designed a map that juxtaposits your mood or aura with the interiors of coffee shops across Manhattan NY
People whose eyes sparkle when they talk about things they love
Recycled-book stores
Touching grass
Soft yellow lighting
Traditions have been the backbone of spiritual practices in India, and I have learned to love them as I grow older because of the intention and mindfulness they bring to the present moment

A kitchen filled with laughter and stories while I make food for people I love
I am a sucker for anything nostalgia related

Things or concepts I love

In the age of overconsumption, I am a strong believer of making the mundane special

In some strange way, things were simpler when we could only send 5 words in a telegram. Please feel free to reach out if you want to chat about future opportunities, any of my projects, surviving the 2024 UX industry or my thoughts on designing your design career (no expert, just a work in progress sharing my journey).
