product manager • designer • questioner
Hi there! Thank you for visiting my site. I'm Shamima, but most people call me Mima. 😊
I'm a product manager by day (with a big crush on UX design), and an explorer of travel, tech, and traditions by night (and weekends!). I've worked with awesome teams at Intuit (helping millions manage finances), SimpleCitizen (helping thousands manage immigration paperwork), and Newristics (helping healthcare companies with their product marketing). All of which were about building products that make complex tasks simple and delightful.
I'm a prolific user of AI tools and love its co-intelligence and co-creation abilities. However, I'm deeply interested in human-centered design that goes beyond feature production, into the choices of what people really need and why. I'm inherently interested in learning why people do what they do and enjoy crafting experiences that solve real problems.
As a side project, I'm currently building a healthcare app to help couples with their fertility journey.
A few fun things about me:
• I'm fluent in English and Bengali, secretly understand more Hindi and Urdu than I let on, and I'm slowly conquering Spanish one Duolingo lesson at a time! 🌎
• I firmly believe everything is better with a little humor, humility, and empathy.
• My favorite ways to unwind include designing or organizing, exploring hiking trails, hosting gatherings, or binge-watching international shows.
I thrive on collaboration and community, so whether you're a future coworker, recruiter, or client, I'm excited to connect and create something amazing together. Feel free to reach out—I promise I'm friendly! ✨
I love tinkering and trying out new tools. Below are some of my vibe-coded projects (including this portfolio site) that I built from scratch using the latest AI tools, with custom branding and design for each one.

I start by deeply understanding user needs through interviews, data analysis, and market research to ensure we're solving the right problems.
Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I facilitate workshops and brainstorming sessions to generate innovative solutions aligned with business goals.
I believe in rapid iteration. Creating low-fi prototypes and testing with real users helps validate assumptions before investing in development.
Post-launch, I monitor metrics closely, gather feedback, and iterate continuously to ensure the product evolves with user needs.
I enjoy exploring other cultures and photography. Here are some of my photos.
Have a project in mind? I'd love to hear from you.
