Hello! I'm Meera

I enjoy building things that have strong foundations. Things that are solid, well structured, methodical, and durable.

I find great joy in a deliberate design process - the interviews, the notes, the drawing of proper hand sketches, the tearing up of prototypes-with-wrong-assumptions, the wireframes, the testing and the feedback that eventually leads to a well-crafted product that I know someone will enjoy.

I love assymmetry and quirkiness. I am drawn to visual elements that appear slightly off-centre but feel just right as part of a larger tapestry.

Many design portfolios often contain the finished result, the beautiful screens at the end of a design process. In my portfolio, you’ll find that my case studies often talk about the process that led to the outcome.

When I’m not designing, I’m a junkie of pointless pop-culture information. I read a lot, I watch a lot of Netflix, I read the weekend newspaper end to end. I love history and period dramas.

My journey into UX design (from a very different past life in financial services) began with an online store inspired by my kids, selling sustainable kids T-shirts, that I continue to run.
