Praveen Manne Say hello

Praveen Manne · UI/UX Lead · Hyderabad, India

Design that gets out of the way.

A decade of designing calm, obvious interfaces — and writing the front-end code that ships them. Figma on one monitor, the DOM on the other.

01 What I do

Two crafts, one job.

Product & UX design

Research, flows, wireframes and high-fidelity UI in Figma and Adobe XD — designed around what users actually do.

Design systems

Token-driven component libraries that keep large products consistent — including Salesforce SLDS work at enterprise scale.

Front-end engineering

Semantic HTML, modern CSS, TypeScript, React and Angular. The design intent survives because I write the code myself.

Motion & interaction

GSAP-powered scroll choreography and micro-interactions that explain the interface instead of decorating it.

Accessibility

WCAG and inclusive design as a default, not a checklist — keyboard-first, screen-reader tested, honest contrast.

Consulting & leadership

Leading design across teams — pairing with engineers, aligning stakeholders, and mentoring designers to ship.

Notion MCP and the quiet end of app-switching

Agentic AI is a UX problem wearing an engineering costume

Delegation needs the same heuristics as any interface: visible status, undo, and a gradient of trust.
