About
Hi, I’m Moksha! I grew up in the colorful city of Bombay, and am currently based in Sacramento, California. As a Senior Product Designer at MyFitnessPal, I believe in creating design that facilitates, not frustrates. I thrive in a collaborative environment, where my seasoned design, content strategy, and prototyping skills aim to create beautiful interfaces that people enjoy interacting with. My work is intuitive, and thoughtful, translating the complex into the clear. A few of my favorite things include consuming way too much coffee, hiking with my husband & dog, listening to rock music, reading fiction, making lists, and traveling the world. I hold an M.F.A. in Graphic Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I was awarded the title of Excelsus Laureate.

“At first glance, the Venn diagram of “Product Designer” and “Indian Dancer-Contortionist” may not seem to have much overlap. But, as Moksha Rao shares with host Meagan Guite, she’s found the two pursuits complement each other in unexpected ways.”
I was interviewed at WABE News (a PBS & NPR affiliate) in partnership with Creative Mornings Atlanta for their podcast Wake Up & Create. Listen to my chat here.
Excelsus Laureate 2019
I was awarded the title of Excelsus Laureate during my graduation in 2019 (the highest honor awarded to a graduate student at the Savannah College of Art & Design). I addressed the class of 2019 during my acceptance speech at the Georgia World Congress Center and dedicated my accomplishment to my late father. View the speech here.
Testimonials
“Moksha is an exceptional designer and an extraordinary teammate. When I hired her at The Weather Company, I knew she was incredibly talented—but I quickly realized she brought so much more. She embodies a true growth mindset, constantly seeking opportunities to push beyond her comfort zone, welcoming feedback, and embracing experimentation, even when it means failing fast to learn faster. She holds herself to the highest standard of excellence, seamlessly blending technical expertise with artistic sensibility—like an elegant dancer (which, fittingly, she is). The result? Thoughtful, beautiful, and impactful solutions that consistently deliver value to both users and the business.
Beyond her design skills, Moksha brings an infectious energy to any team. She is collaborative, insightful, and deeply invested in the people around her. Whether she’s designing, advocating for users, or presenting innovative solutions to stakeholders, she does it with heart and conviction. She actively seeks opportunities to expand her horizons and gives back to the community with the same passion she brings to her craft.
Working with Moksha was a privilege—not just because of her talent, but because of the way she elevates everyone around her. Any team would be lucky to have her, and I have no doubt she will continue to do incredible things in her career.”
— Dee Mustafa-Bowne, Director of Design & Strategy at Method
“Moksha is a stellar designer and leader who takes her professional growth seriously. Her command of her voice and conviction for doing the right thing is always well balanced with her ability to take feedback in stride and incorporate it to improve on desired outcomes. She is truly collaborative in this sense.
We’ve thrown diverse challenges at Moksha in her time here, and she has embraced them all with excellence. It’s exciting to watch her work and learn new mediums. I've quickly realized there is nothing Moksha can't do when given a problem to solve.
I also love how much of herself she gives back. Her passion for people is contagious. Whether she's mentoring, getting involved in the design community, or welcoming a new team member, she gives of herself authentically and unapologetically.
Moksha is an incredible asset to our team and our brand, and we are fortunate to be able to work alongside her every day.”
