Hi, I'm Vrunda Mange, a UX and Product Designer with 4+ years of experience across B2B, B2C, and SaaS products spanning healthcare, procurement, and consumer technology. As a systems thinker, and strategic problem solver, I enjoy untangling complex workflows and turning them into experiences that feel right.
 
At Punchcut, I've worked on 0→1 discovery products, AI-powered interfaces, role-based access systems, and immersive TV experiences. Before that, I conducted UX research at Rochester Institute of Technology and shipped enterprise product design at GEP Worldwide across large-scale procurement tools used by Fortune 500 companies.
 
I started my career writing code, which shaped how I approach design. I understand how products are built from the inside, and that makes me a better partner to engineers, a sharper systems thinker, and someone who can move fluidly between design and technical conversation
