Hi, I am Kulmanali.

I see Design as my passion and profession where I constantly look for ways to inspire myself and try to generate new ideas.

I am a Sr.UX Designer at Cognizant with 6+ years of work experience. I have worked in various domains such as Fintech, Cloud-managed Wi-Fi Services, Customer Experience Management (CXM), Online Visual Media, retail, and Enterprise Software Services. My work experience includes creating design systems, designing desktop, tablet, mobile web, and native applications for Android and iOS.

I have completed M.S. in Information Systems (HCI/UX) at Nova Southeastern University. Previously, I had completed my Master's in User Experience Design at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati, India. Additionally, I have a strong UX research background and also published a research paper on a graphical user interface keyboard for the Assamese language.

I worked as a Research Assistant with Nielsen Norman Group (NN/g) during my Summer internship. I conducted remotely moderated usability testing on Indian users to study e-commerce websites and the shopping behavior of native language speakers to gather data and publish research findings.
