Ritha Krishnamurthy is a design researcher, with a background in spatial design from Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology. Her time in urban research labs exposed her to macro- and micro-milieus, shaping her interest in community-driven dialogue and design. At present, she is keen to tap into Quicksand’s purpose-driven approach, exploring intersectional voices and research processes in fields like behavioral design and strategy—fueled by curiosity and a steady dose of caffeine.
