Hi, I’m Atchayaa

About me
I work at the intersection of healthcare and design. My experience as a young healthcare provider in India exposed the deep systemic barriers to quality, equitable care, many of which lie beyond clinical practice. This led me to pursue human-centered design as a way to create more effective, scalable impact.
I hold an M.A. in Design focused on Health from the University of Texas at Austin in 2024 and an M.B.B.S. from Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences in 2022. I strive to bring innovative and responsible changes in the healthcare world by looking through a human-centered lens and a creative mindset.
