About Me

“Beating the competition is relatively easy. Beating yourself is a never-ending commitment.”

-Phil Knight

Hi, I’m Sihlangusethu Manqele, a Product Designer passionate about creating intuitive, functional, and visually engaging digital experiences.

With a background in Product and Graphic Design, I bring a well-rounded understanding of how people interact with products, both physical and digital. I focus on transforming complex challenges into simple, human-centered solutions that meet real user needs and align with business goals.

Throughout my career, I’ve worn many hats, Product Designer, Industrial Designer and Graphic Designer. These diverse experiences have shaped a multidisciplinary mindset that I bring to every project. I’m deeply curious about how design shapes everyday life and committed to building meaningful, scalable digital products that make a real difference.
