Hey, I’m Mrunali Bhangale
A product designer, lifelong learner, and the kind of curious that leads to rabbit holes, side projects, and too many tabs.
I speak 4 languages, but inside, it’s mostly sticky notes, scattered thoughts, and the occasional brilliant metaphor. When I’m not designing, I’m in a bouldering gym, on a coffee hunt, or tweaking Claude prompts.

Designing certainty into the lounge visit
I redesigned the Priority Pass lounge pre-booking flow as a native app experience, taking learnings from where the existing web flow lost members. The result: £1M in revenue, 108k completed bookings, and 304,556 guests served globally.

FIELD NOTES
This is where my brain leaves breadcrumbs. Notes from books, stray thoughts, podcast moments, photography, grids I couldn’t walk past basically, the stuff I want to remember.
Is the design we practice worth saving?
Every think piece about restructuring design teams for AI starts with a false premise.
Design
The spotlight effect
The spotlight in your head is permanent. The one in the room barely exists.
Psychology
Be the one who prioritizes the user
Technology changes very fast, but people change very slowly. Their fears, motivations, confusion, habits, and behaviors stay surprisingly constant.
Design
The bitter lesson
People are often told to pick a lane, specialize, and become one clear thing.
Society
Competitor analysis should be the baseline, not the North Star
If all you do is follow what competitors shipped last month, you’re not building, you’re reacting.
Design
Nietzsche’s “Become who you are”
“Become who you are” doesn’t mean finding some hidden truth. It means becoming someone you haven’t figured out yet — through how you love, work, react, rest, and learn.
