Mayank Kinger

About me.

I am a systems-thinking product designer who specializes in 0 → 1, B2B2C, and SaaS products w/ 5+ years of experience crafting web platforms, mobile apps, and design systems.

I'm currently designing a customer retention platform for automotive dealerships that uses deterministic location data to run targeted outreach campaigns and win back customers for service revenue.

I thrive on tackling new challenges and navigating ambiguity in complex environments, especially when the product itself is being rethought around agents rather than adding AI onto an existing workflow.

Shaped by 7+ years of designing, building, learning, and experimenting.

A letter to my future hiring manager.

Dear hiring manager,

I've grown from a hot-headed young designer chasing perfection to operating as a strategic product builder with a broader lens working across design, product, execution, and scale to get great products out the door.

My strength lies in designing the right product the right way with speed and intentionality. I bring a strong research foundation and a systems thinking mindset, leveraging AI to amplify my point of view on how products should feel and behave. Having worked across scrappy startups and large established teams, I have learnt when to move fast and when to be deliberate without compromising quality.

I'm actively looking for full-time opportunities in NYC/SF with teams where designers stay close to the build and ideas make it to production. If you're looking for someone who thinks in design, builds with AI, and ships products that feel right, I'd love to chat :)

Talk soon,Mayank

My work philosophy

I see design as a powerful strategic tool to solve complex business challenges and create lasting value. I feel that designers owe a certain amount of responsibility not just towards their work but also towards society and its people.

From the beginning Mayank always impressed me with his drive to improve not only himself but the people, teams, products, and processes around them. He has a strong will to fight for the ideas he believes in but is open minded enough to accept other viewpoints and alternate solutions. There are few I've worked with that have as much dedication to the craft as Mayank has. He will benefit any team he joins.
