Moksha Rao is a Product Designer at The Weather Channel (IBM) by day, and a Cultural Dancer by night. Born and raised in Mumbai City (India), she migrated to Atlanta in 2016 for her MFA in Graphic Design at SCAD. She believes in creating design that facilitates, not frustrates. When she’s not busy geeking out on design blogs or doodling on her iPad, Moksha is usually training for her next dance gig. Her unique performance style showcases intricate footwork, spectacular speed, flexibility, and a blend of her classical roots with fusion elements. She loves merging her two worlds of design and dance together to create a unique brand of her own. Please follow her on Instagram @moksha_rao to know more!
