1. Who Am I?
About Me
Hi, I'm Rohan Cheruku, a senior at UT Dallas studying Computer Science with a minor in Design. I started with CS because I loved building digital products, but realized it was way more fun doing it visually, which is what pulled me toward design. Turning a blank canvas into something real is my favorite kind of problem to solve. At the end of the day, I just want to make things that matter, and design is how I do that.
My Design Philosophy
I believe design should start with the person, not the pixel. Every choice comes back to empathy: who is using this, what do they need, and how can I make their day a little better? I care about inclusive, accessible experiences that genuinely change how people interact with the world.
If something does not make someone's life easier or put a smile on their face, I will keep iterating until it does. I also love pushing myself creatively, cooking up original ideas and visuals that feel fresh instead of formulaic.
Beyond the Screen
I love:
- Quality time with my family and my dog
- Hitting the pool table
- Gaming sessions that turn into all-nighters
- Spending way too much on Pokémon cards
