What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can grow as a UI/UX designer, focusing on user-centered projects that challenge my creativity and technical skills.

I'm Manuja Hiranya, an aspiring UI/UX designer with a strong foundation in full-stack development. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Staffordshire University, where I honed my skills in programming, web frameworks, and user experience design. I am passionate about creating intuitive and visually appealing digital experiences that prioritize user needs.

During my internship at Nikro Management Services, I developed full-stack web and mobile applications, focusing on user-friendly front-end interfaces using HTML, CSS, and modern frameworks like React. My experience includes conducting user interviews, testing, and employing design strategies to enhance user engagement. I am eager to leverage my technical skills and creativity in a dedicated UI/UX design role.
