about

Engineer. Analyst. Designer.

My name is Ritesh Mandaliya. I grew up in Bengaluru, India, before moving to Sydney/Gadigal land↗, Australia, where I now live and work. With a background in mechanical engineering, data analysis, and design, I bring a unique set of skills that help me connect design and business.

I work as a Lead Product Designer at Jobs and Skills Australia↗, leading design and taking products from idea to implementation. I enjoy making complex data simple and accessible and am passionate about enhancing an organisation's design maturity.

Outside of work, I'm a bit of a coffee nerd. From water chemistry to tasting notes and brewing methods, I can talk about coffee for hours. I also enjoy photography and am always on the lookout for new side projects where I can experiment, build, and learn.
