RUCHIKA KARNANI Graphic Designer
I recently graduated as a Graphic Designer from MIT Institute of Design, Pune, India. Design to me is something that strikes a chord in people’s heart! I enjoy exploring and experimenting in order to find different solutions to problems. Curious, compassionate and observant is what I would call myself. I am witty and appreciate word puns. I best express myself through words.
