About

Hello, I’m Mahnoor!

Currently, I serve as a UX Designer at General Motors in Austin, Texas, where I have accumulated three years of experience specializing in the design of prototypes and user flows for globally deployed IT applications utilized by GM dealerships and warehouses. A North Carolina native, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Go Heels!

My passion lies in actualizing ideas by ensuring they are not only innovative but also highly usable and accessible. Through a comprehensive understanding of both client-side and server-side operations, I possess the capability to promptly develop designs that are efficient and user-friendly.

  • Being user-first and empathetic to the user’s needs
  • Designing for social good and metrics-driven results

In my spare time I am passionate about tennis, rock climbing and reading/collecting new books.
