About Me

Hi, I’m Rachana Manjunath, a designer at heart and a curious explorer by nature. My journey spans the worlds of UX design, HCI research, product management, and architecture—fields that may seem diverse but are, to me, harmonized by one unifying principle: design.

I believe design is not just about aesthetics but about crafting thoughtful solutions, creating connections, and telling stories that resonate. My background reflects my philosophy: being a "jack of all trades, master of none, but better than master of one." Every skill I’ve cultivated—whether shaping spaces as an architect or shaping user experiences—has enriched my ability to approach challenges holistically.

Currently pursuing my master’s in Information Systems at Northeastern University, I’m delving deeper into the intersection of design, technology, and human-centered innovation. Detail-oriented and passionate about crafting seamless experiences, I thrive on transforming complexity into clarity.

Welcome to my world—where design isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am.
