About Me
I’m passionate about UX because it lets me contribute to a more inclusive world through human-centered design.
By understanding users' holistic needs, I aim to create meaningful experiences that address inequities and empower underserved communities.
I’m deeply committed to the principle "Nothing about us without us," and I make sure to design with inclusivity and accessibility in mind from the start.

What People Say
"She quickly became a key contributor to our design system.
Despite being new to the team, Maha confidently stepped up, driving structure and direction for the system while bringing fresh energy.
Maha’s proactive attitude and ability to work autonomously make her an excellent fit for teams looking for someone to take initiative and push projects forward.”
Will Colley, Former Coworker
“Maha is an incredible problem-solver who is dedicated to creating user-centric digital products.
Maha is not afraid to take on a challenge and approaches work positively. She is a pleasure to work with.”
Misha Banner, Former Mentor
“My experience partnering with her has been a joy and a learning opportunity at every turn.
She is kind while professional, balancing a big heart with an understanding of business goals and organizational politics.
She is also a balanced leader. She can take a back seat, helping to implement others' ideas or her own. Any team is lucky to have Maha as a member.”
Sarah Anderson, Former Coworker
“Maha is a delight to work with! She comes well-prepared with all the right questions to ask, identifying blindspots and problems I never would have noticed until much later.
She is generous with knowledge and insight, and brilliant at identifying pain points for users. Her knowledge of user management and UX development wows me.
She would be an absolute joy of an addition on any team.”
Taylor Bolduc, Current Coworker
Life Outside of Design
Outside of work, I am still designing at my home decor craft business Maharani’s Mantle.
I enjoy dancing, learning languages (maintaining Spanish and Urdu and learning French), going to raves, creating maximalist outfits, playing The Sims, hanging with friends and family, and playing with my 5 cats (pictured below).
