Hi, I am Neda Anvari.

I’m a Product Designer on a mission to declutter the digital world! I turn complexity into clarity with simple, elegant design.

Map Labs

Compass Design System and Style Guide

The user experience showed signs of inconsistency, making interactions less intuitive at times. Without a unified system, users encountered varying patterns and limited feedback, which affected clarity and ease of use. To better support users with a more consistent and predictable interface, we decided to rebuild our design system and style guide, focusing on cohesiveness, effectiveness, and the ability for it to evolve.

Khan Academy

State Standards Mapping

Our goal was to help educators in non-Common Core states quickly see how our content aligns with their standards and access resources easily. To support this, we built a responsive web experience that allowed educators to select their state and standard, and see which Khan Academy content aligned with it.

TripGPT

TripGPT is your AI-powered travel buddy!

I co-founded TripGPT, an AI-powered travel web app that creates custom itineraries for travelers worldwide.

Linguini

English language teaching made sustainable.

Linguini is an iOS app that helps reduce the amount of time EAL (English as an Additional Language) Teachers spend preparing activities outside of their paid hours. It provides users with the capability to administer pre-created activities to groups or individuals.

About:

Thanks for dropping by and choosing to learn a bit about me.

Currently I am a Product Designer at Map Labs and the Co-Founder of TripGPT. Previously I worked at Khan Academy as an International Content Program Manager.

I strive to design holistically, ensuring that the designs I work on are accessible and built to support international audiences. Interested in future-proof designs? Let’s talk!

  • Listen and learn:

    I believe that the finest designs emerge from embracing diverse viewpoints, including those of users, product experts, and engineers. My role is to synthesize these insights, guiding us towards creating the most optimal user experience.

    Communicate early and often:

    I find that engaging in regular communication with all internal stakeholders, including engineering, from the discovery phase not only accelerates the process but also ensures a clear understanding of design constraints early on.

    Be kind:

    Given the considerable time we spend at work, it's crucial to make it enjoyable. Cultivating a culture of mutual support and kindness leads to happier teams, which I believe are instrumental in collaborating effectively to deliver outstanding products.

    All questions are welcome:

    I firmly believe that all questions are valuable, and it's perfectly fine to ask them repeatedly. If we cross paths, feel free to inquire as much and as often as needed - I'm always happy to answer your questions if I can.

    Backgammon guru:

    Most of my family are backgammon players, so naturally, I started to learn how to play when I was 5 or 6. Nowadays, I catch an online backgammon game when I can.

    Predictor of show plots:

    As a designer it’s no surprise that I love the art of storytelling and therefore I love television! In fact, as the story is unravelling on TV, I like to try and pay attention to the foreshadowing so I can piece together the plot before it happens, it makes me feel like a detective!
