Life is too short to work on disposable products.
At this stage in my career I want to work on products that matter. Manara is one of the few companies that has the potential to truly change the lives of millions of people. I want to be part of that mission.
T-Shaped Designer
My favourite thing about working on SaaS products is the variety. Although I specialise in Product Design I have hands-on experience in other areas of the SaaS eco-system which has helped to make me a more effective, results driven designer.
Results Driven Design
Effective design most frequently happens where business and user goals overlap. I actively seek out these opportunities so that my work can help to improve key business metrics within the organisation.
