Resume
©2025 Ramyatara MullapudiGrowing up in India as the youngest of eight cousins, I learned to find my voice amid the chaos of a large family. That instinct—to observe, listen, and shape meaning—led me to design. Now based in San Francisco, I craft identity systems, typefaces, and interactive experiences that bridge creative exploration with strategy, exploring the intersection of the familiar and the new.
With a background in marketing and psychology, I am interested in collaborating with strategists, writers, and technologists to craft purposeful design. I have contributed to brands at Siegel+Gale, Poieto, and CCA Exhibitions, and am currently completing an MFA at CCA, where my thesis focuses on open-ended typographic tools for the Telugu script and generative letterforms to create re-entry points for natives losing their language.
Beyond design, I catalog family recipes as a form of storytelling—preserving flavors, memories, and the culture they carry forward.
During my walks around town, I enjoy photographing flowers
