Hello, I’m Mithila
I am a Product Design Leader based in NYC.
My career spans both high-complexity enterprise SaaS where I navigated mergers & acquisitions, created cohesive workflows out of fragmented systems, and scaled legacy tools, and consumer-facing digital media where I focused on crafting delightful experiences, managing business and editorial stakeholders, and adapted to a shifting media environment.
I foster resilient teams that bridge the gap between line of business functionality and consumer-grade delight.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked within a range of team structures and stakeholders, which has shaped me into an adaptable, dependable, and open-minded collaborator.
How I lead
People First
I lead with empathy for the people using the product and the people building it. My job is to champion the user’s experience while supporting my designers: clearing their path and building a culture where they feel empowered to take risks.
Resilient Design
I build for the long game. Having led products through mergers and rapid consumer shifts, I create flexible processes and modular designs that can handle change without breaking, ensuring the work stays resilient as the business goals evolve.
Real Impact
I focus on results that matter: whether that’s hitting business goals, raising the bar for visual craft, or helping the team ship faster. I make sure design isn't just a step in the process, but a way to make the product more valuable for everyone.
Intentional Process
I evolve processes in real-time to meet any business shifts. I believe that processes should not slow you down, but empower you to execute by building clear logic and removing any guesswork, making the intent for the process always clear.
