During her time at Actual AI she created effective user experiences and designs for our product, and led several initiatives to improve the UX with directed feedback from users. She owned our frontend designs and pages in Storybook, led weekly discussions on the user experience and new features, and contributed directly to the source code of our full-stack application.

“Manya is an extremely personable, intelligent, and competent individual! Working with her was a fantastic experience filled with exciting conversation, consistent teamwork/communication, and fast-paced learning.
Across the project, Manya expertly dealt with conducting user research including: interviews, focus group discussions, heuristic analysis, and more. She was intent on diving deep into the user needs, pain points, and goals to understand how we can best serve and amplify their end goal. She took complex requirements and translated them into wireframes and designs that captured feature functionality and nuances reflective of user needs. During this process, Manya quickly skilled up in design tools and stepped in to deal with more technical design needs. She often experimented with designs and logic to explore how we can push the boundaries of the project tasks. It’s been wonderful working with Manya in a professional capacity and getting to know her in a personal capacity - I have no doubt she’ll go on to accomplish above and beyond what she sets her mind to!”
