/ About

Hi, I’m Mehnaz.

I started with a pencil and ended up designing systems. I still carry both.

I’m a product, UX and visual designer, now doing my M.Des at IIT Guwahati. I like working across scales: an AI console for telecom teams, a library for kids, a toy box that turns into the toy, and the characters that live in a card game. Drawing is how I think, so it shows up everywhere.

that’s me ツ
