Engineer of Systems, Designer of Impact
Hi, I’m Ruchita, a product generalist based in San Francisco, California. I thrive on untangling complexity, building sustainable systems, and nurturing communities through thoughtful craft.
Currently, I design creative tools at Pixar to empower world class artists.
Passionate about design thinking, storytelling, visual culture, longevity and art.
Previously at Blizzard Entertainment, I crafted experiences for gamers and game developers. Before that, as a software engineer, I developed apps and platforms for fintech and e-commerce studios.
