Meet the person behind the pixels

Hello this is Ramya, thanks for checking out my portfolio.
My friends say I can explain anything with an analogy — turning complex ideas into pictures people can see in their heads. Looking back, that’s always been me: a visual thinker at heart.
I grew up in southern India with arts and crafts as my constant companions. I told stories through doodles in the back of my notebooks and once built a bird’s nest out of a coconut shell. Later, in the US, I started a blog to share art and craft projects paired with stories — it grew to 5,000+ monthly visitors and gave me my first glimpse into the power of visual storytelling.
That same pull toward clarity is what drew me away from engineering lectures and into the world of visual design — a space where creativity and technology finally met. Today, whether I’m simplifying a new tech feature for global teams or designing for small businesses, my goal is always the same: to create visuals that feel as simple and memorable as your favorite song.
Outside of work, I create weekly visual metaphors on motherhood, productivity, and mental health — reaching 5K+ people on LinkedIn and keeping my storytelling craft sharp.
Fun facts
I collect earrings (200+ and counting… yes, it’s an obsession).
I’m a rom-com reader at heart and always root for the happy ending.
I’m a crazy fan of 90s and 2000s Tamil songs.
