About

Hi, I’m Moksha Rao! I grew up in the colorful city of Bombay, and am currently based in Sacramento, California. As a Senior Product Designer at MyFitnessPal, I believe in creating design that facilitates, not frustrates. I thrive in a collaborative environment, where my seasoned design, content strategy, and prototyping skills aim to create beautiful interfaces that people enjoy interacting with. My work is intuitive, and thoughtful, translating the complex into the clear. A few of my favorite things include consuming way too much coffee, hiking with my husband & dog, listening to rock music, reading fiction, making lists, and traveling the world. I hold an M.F.A. in Graphic Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I was awarded the title of Excelsus Laureate.

“At first glance, the Venn diagram of “Product Designer” and “Indian Dancer-Contortionist” may not seem to have much overlap. But, as Moksha Rao shares with host Meagan Guite, she’s found the two pursuits complement each other in unexpected ways.”

I was interviewed at WABE News (a PBS & NPR affiliate) in partnership with Creative Mornings Atlanta for their podcast Wake Up & Create. Listen to my chat here.

Excelsus Laureate 2019

I was awarded the title of Excelsus Laureate during my graduation in 2019 (the highest honor awarded to a graduate student at the Savannah College of Art & Design). I addressed the class of 2019 during my acceptance speech at the Georgia World Congress Center and dedicated my accomplishment to my late father. View the speech here.
