about me
hi, i'm ruchi!
I use design to solve problems. I hope to create solutions that positively impact people's lives at any scale: from dating apps that organically connect people, to a laundry machine device that helps college students get their chores done with ease.
I graduated from Northeastern University with a Bachelor of Science in Experience Design and Architectural Studies, and a minor in Entrepreneurial Startups.
Outside of design, I enjoy traveling, bike rides, sunsets, tennis, and working on home renovations.
