About Maryann Wangari
Senior Product Designer | UX Researcher at Senior Consultant
I'm a multi-disciplinary product designer with over seven years of experience. I sit at the intersection of customer needs and business goals. I use design thinking and HCD principles to figure out the problem by engaging different stakeholders and collaborating with data and engineering teams to quickly prototype, test, and implement solutions. I love creating products that engage, transforms, and inspire people.
When I am not working, I build capacity and mentor young designers through one of the largest design communities in Nairobi (NDC), which curates events like panel discussions, fireside chats, portfolio reviews, and workshops.

What mentees say
“I was seek to understand the journey map of a UX researcher especially being that I had switched careers. Maryann opened my eyes to certain thing that I was fixated about on my UX journey and challenged my thought process.”
“I didn't originally understand what the "DOES" quadrant really means in the "Mind Mapping" approach. But now I understand it better. Also, I realized I should navigate more towards really understanding the persona like an individual conversation vs just random assumptions. It was an informative meeting!”
“I had a fantastic chat with Maryann who shared constructive feedback on several questions I had on research consultancy. Thank you Maryann for taking the time to talk to me. I will definitely have a follow-up session.”
