Hello!My name is Sahana Manjunath.
Lately I’ve been enjoying reading mystery novels, painting, planting, cooking, video games, and dancing. 🕵 🎨 🌱 🍳 🎮 🎶
I’m a UX/Visual designer currently working at American Medical Association, located in Chicago, Illinois.
My background is in Human-Computer Interaction – I earned my Master’s in HCI from DePaul University, Chicago in 2020.
My career so far
I am a former engineer, turned UX professional. My desire to create socially impactful and people-centric designs and passion for visual communication led me to decide to pursue a career in UX design.
My background includes a degree in Computer Science and experience as a Service Engineer, Technical Consultant, and Internal Sales Engineer. From these experiences, I have been trained to look at problems from different perspectives and to communicate effectively with clients/stakeholders which lead me to find successful problem resolutions. A combination of Masters in Design + CS background successfully leads me to pursue a UX opportunity.
I completed my UX Intern at OneIMS and All people. IT, Healthcare, Digital Marketing, e-commerce are the industries I’ve had UX and product design experience in! I’ve really enjoyed the variety and seeing how design thinking can benefit all kinds of users and businesses.
