Hello. I’m Juanita (wah-nee-ta), and I currently

am dabbling in digital photography and this is a photo of me taken by my friend

lead an AIGA SF initiative called WILD alongside a wonderful group of women in the Bay Area

use design to move people, teams & organizations forward

I thought you’d like to know a little more ✎

My cultural roots

I’m a product of my culture—speaking four regional languages, with many of my core memories shaped by my life in South India.

Why am I a designer?

There is something so gratifying and maybe self-glorifying about seeing ideas that exist only in my brain become reality in the lives of people.

That’s me facilitating a fun workshop with a group of women in my local community

A talent I am proud of

With a minimal setup, I can cut, style and color hair. This proved to be very useful and also dangerous during the pandemic.
