Hi! I'm Mauritius D'Silva
I’m a product design leader with a deep foundation in hands-on user experience and interface design. My journey in design began at a time when apps weren’t the center of attention, and I focused on creating innovative, user-friendly websites. Those early days shaped my ability to adapt quickly, juggle multiple projects, and design for both user needs and business goals. As the industry evolved, so did I—moving into app design and product development as mobile platforms became essential to the user experience.
Currently, I lead product design at The Taken Seat, where I oversee the design strategy for multiple products, including Cari, a fast-growing food delivery app in the Middle East. My work revolves around collaborating closely with Product Managers, Stakeholders, and Engineers, ensuring that the product vision aligns with technical capabilities and user needs. I love solving complex problems, balancing creativity with practicality to create designs that not only look good but drive real impact.
Before joining The Taken Seat, I played a pivotal role in the success of Carriage, a Kuwaiti startup, as a founding member and the first design hire. Carriage was acquired by Delivery Hero within its first year. I helped bring the product to life from concept to launch, focusing on user-centered design that boosted customer engagement and business growth.
I thrive in environments where cross-functional collaboration is essential, working with diverse teams to align product strategies, design thinking, and technical execution. Known for my adaptability, creativity, and problem-solving abilities, I’m passionate about mentoring multidisciplinary teams and finding innovative solutions that meet both user needs and business goals. Let’s create something meaningful together!
