nice to e-meet you.

I'm Mahanetran Murali – the first designer in my family, tenaciously attempting to become a polymath. after calling Bangalore, india home for most of my life, i moved to Savannah for my master's degree and now live in plant city, usa.

In a past life, I made music as Coast boi (an ode to Pondicherry, my birthplace) and dabbled in digital & analog illustrations.

now, I specialize in product & service design with a focus on digital ux, strategic research, business innovation, and end-to-end strategy. profesSionally, I've garnered 3+ years of EXPERIENCE shipping and pitching b2b and b2c projects in i.t. consulting, music, fintech, and Healthcare.

my design manifesto

To design is to have lived. And what is life without creation, experimentation, or fascination? I hold 6 core beliefs arising from these notions.

👀 treat curiosity like breathing

start innocent, but stay informed. It is human nature to explore and question and Imagine more with less or vice versa. always ask “why?” before all else.

🌊 Adapt. Adapt. Adapt.

No process or result is the same. Neither are titles, stories, challenges, and needs. Flexibility is necessary when Pivoting - Each project can forge a connection.

🌁 creativity can be an amalgam

an embodiment of functionality and innovation, It connects passion with resonance by looking past status quo to unveil threads between. Tug at it fearlessly.

🔎 the devil is in the details

Every pixel, word, element, and interaction has its role and value, reinforced by simplicity and granularity that arises from precision and intentionality.

🏢 the "ideal" environment

trust in organizations and companies that show and tell how good design is good for business when executed tastefully, dares to empower, and feels human.

🍀 quadruple bottom line

As a lifelong learner, It is crucial to work on projects that push the envelope through innovation with the intention of serving people, planet, profit, with purpose.

my after hours

✨ i make the moments count

most days are beautiful when you go in with no expectations of what happens everyday and don't take life too seriously

💿 collecting vinyl records

Waiting to blow my first paycheck on a player because i love physical media (cassettes & CDs)
