Hi, I'm Anuja, a product designer looking for my next senior or founding role.

I turn your most complex problem into something as obvious as a chair, and build a working version in hours or days.

TBH, I'd rather show you a working version than talk about myself. So, what are you working on?

How I work

  1. Break it down.
  2. Assess it.
  3. Solve it.
  4. Keep refining.

“Before deciding what we’re going to put there, why don’t we clarify?”

ReportCaster had no documentation, so I sat with Support to watch people work around it and reverse-engineered the engine by hand.

“Design instincts don’t mean anything if you don’t have the evidence or logic to back it up.”

On ML Functions I tried three layouts before a popup won, and brought the veteran engineers along with evidence, not taste.

“When you look at a chair, the only thing that comes to mind is to sit on it.”

12 to 15 clicks became a guided four-step wizard. Four of four technical subject-matter experts then trained a model on their own.

“If we implement this right now, getting from this version to this version will be a breeze.”

ReportCaster’s delivery screen grew from five methods to eight without a redesign.

Three years on WebFOCUS, in a $175M P&L business unit. I led the first-ever redesign of ReportCaster, the decades-old scheduler behind millions of automated jobs a week. The at-risk account stayed, and a five-year, multi-million-dollar renewal followed. Natural-language query adoption went up 25% once my redesign shipped with a new model. I got four PMs and 30+ engineers aligned, and none of them reported to me. I mentored the designers who took ReportCaster over, and when half the design team was cut, I managed more than half the platform's UX architecture.

Built by orchestrating AI agents

gates on every agent request. Pausing an agent actually stops it.
Day 1
Warden and Inkwell were first deployed the day I started them

I design my own products and direct the AI agents that build them: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Antigravity. It started with this portfolio and grew from there. Warden governs the agents across four of my apps; every request passes a five-gate check, and pausing an agent actually stops it. Pathwise projects education and career paths from cited data, so every fact carries its source. Ask Anu, the chat on this site, is tuned to my own writing. Honest, adaptive tools I built for a need I couldn't buy.
