CRAFTING DIGITAL GOODS SINCE 2022
PADMARAAGAM
I'm Manu Padmaraagam. I design at the intersection of digital product, spatial making, and sonic experience.
SCROLL
Designing at the intersection of minimalism, technology, and sound, where restraint in form meets depth in experience.
I came to product design through games, where the design problem has always been human behaviour: how people make decisions, process feedback, and stay oriented when complexity pushes back. Screens are cognitive systems, not just visual artefacts, and good design earns trust at every step of a journey, not just the ones that make it into a case study. I'm completing a Master of Design Innovation and Technology at RMIT (graduating July 2027), actively seeking internship or part-time roles alongside my studies. I work in Figma and have built hands-on fluency with AI tools including Claude Code, moving closer to code than most designers and taking direct ownership of what ships. I design for outcomes, not artefacts.
