Maninder Kaur
Senior Product Designer
Good design starts with understanding people.
I’m a Senior Product Designer with 10+ years of experience making complex products easier to use.
My work spans AI assistants, healthcare, logistics, and enterprise collaboration—from helping businesses configure AI to helping teams manage everyday conversations. I focus on clear workflows that give people confidence and control.
I work closely with product managers, researchers, and engineers, using research and interactive prototypes to explore ideas and refine decisions. Alongside product work, I’ve mentored 80+ designers through portfolio reviews and interview preparation. I also build prototypes with AI coding tools to make ideas tangible and test how an experience behaves.
