Hello! I’m Rutuja Mannur

Graphic Designer | Storyteller | Illustrator

I am a recent BFA Graphic Design graduate from the University of Central Florida with a passion for building immersive brands, tactile product packaging, and purposeful illustrations. Originally from India, my design perspective is shaped by a love for vibrant cultures, the perfect cup of coffee, and the bold, complex flavors of Indian cuisine, elements I bring into my work through rich textures and intentional color theory.

My design philosophy is rooted in Design for Happiness. Previously, I served as a Business Operations Design Intern at University of Central Florida Arboretum, designing social media posts and print media for various UCF departments. This experience taught me that design is a powerful tool for communicating ideas.

Beyond the studio, I am deeply committed to the design community. I am currently an AIGA Mentee, where I collaborate with industry leaders to refine my craft and stay at the forefront of design trends.

Whether I am designing an interactive environmental mural or an annual report, I strive to create unique, fun-first experiences. I believe that great design should not only solve problems but also uplift spirits and advocate for a more inclusive world.
