How it works

Three steps to your next big project.

Three steps to your next big project.

01

Discovery

I start by deeply understanding the product, aligning with stakeholders, and uncovering user needs. I explore edge cases, constraints, and real-world scenarios to ensure clarity before moving forward.

Planning & strategy

In this stage the focus is on translating insights into a clear plan, defining priorities, flows, and structure. Every decision is intentional, balancing user goals, business needs, and technical feasibility.

Kind words

Words from people I've worked with.

Words from people I've worked with.

When we were building the FYERS Design System, it was still evolving and often inconvenient. Manu leaned in early and delivered one of the first projects that truly felt like the FYERS Design Style Guide.

What stands out is how he works.He doesn’t follow instructions blindly. He questions, understands why, and once convinced, commits fully. He’s constantly learning and quietly elevating the people around him.

In teams, we often value speed or compliance. But those who question, absorb, and align end up shaping the culture. Manu does that. Outside work, he’s simply great company, which matters more than we admit.
Some people adopt systems.
Some help them settle in.

Bipin Domy Thomas

Chief Innovation Officer, FYERS

I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with Manu in the Product Design and UX teams at FYERS, where he worked across multiple initiatives, largely within the investing domain. Manu approaches design with a certain sincerity and takes the time to understand the problem space before moving into solutions. He is not someone who rushes to close things quickly, but instead tries to arrive at something more considered and intentional.

Manu is willing to go back, iterate, and keep refining until things start rolling. He is open to conversations and aligns with the team rather than working things out in isolation. I’ve also seen him make a conscious effort to stay relevant with how our space is evolving.

Kichu J Thomas

Senior Design Manager, FYERS

More than a designer, Manu is a genuinely good human. He’s the kind of person who always looks out for others, makes time to help, and believes in solving things together as a team. No ego, no noise, just honest intent.

What I really respect about him is how he balances things. He thinks about both the product and the users, and makes decisions that actually make sense for both sides.

Working with him never felt like “just work”; you end up learning a lot, not just about design, but about how to be a better teammate.

Really glad I got to work with him.

Aravind A

Design Architect, StockGro

Manu is a product designer who genuinely cares about the people who use the experiences he creates. Even though we have not worked together directly, the way he thinks and the questions he asks always show that the user is at the center of his decisions.

His work feels thoughtful, grounded, and focused on real user needs rather than just surface level details. If you are looking for a designer who truly cares about users, I would trust Manu without hesitation.
