Hello, I’m Mithila
I am a product designer and manager based in Brooklyn, New York.
I currently lead design for BuzzFeed Inc’s content and publishing platform, where my team focuses on simplifying workflows so editors can focus on making the most fun and engaging posts. Previously, I worked on enterprise saas tools and device management admin experiences at VMware.
I have experience working in a variety of team structures that have taught me to be adaptable, dependable, and open minded.
