About Anuja Harsha Nimmagadda

Independent Product Designer at Self-Employed

Hi, I’m Anuja, a Senior Product Designer with over 13 years of experience in UX and product design — specializing in B2B enterprise systems, data visualization, and AI-integrated design.

Over the years, I’ve led end-to-end design for complex enterprise workflows — collaborating with engineering, PM, and QA teams to turn legacy systems into modern, intuitive experiences. I’ve driven key initiatives like the IQ Plugin and ML Functions UI, focusing on usability, workflow design, and clarity at scale.

Beyond design, I’m deeply passionate about mentorship and career growth. I love helping designers grow into confident, collaborative leaders who can drive their products forward.

Here’s how I can help you: • 🎯 Portfolio guidance: structure your case studies to highlight impact, not just visuals. • 🤝 Collaboration coaching: learn to communicate effectively with PMs, engineers, and QA. • 🚀 Career growth: prepare for senior roles by building ownership, strategy, and confidence.

If you’re ready to level up your design career — let’s connect and make it happen together.
