I’m Ruchika Rao Yelamanchi, a Brand Designer and Creative Strategist based in Irving, TX. I own brand and creative strategy for an 80+ health care product portfolio, driving clarity and consistency across channels and reducing rework and approval cycles by 20%. I produce 50+ web, digital, sales, and product marketing assets to accelerate turnaround and improve adoption through standardized templates and visual systems. I’ve led end-to-end brand creation for LazerX, defining logo, packaging, visual identity, and messaging to support scalable product growth. I’ve collaborated cross-functionally to launch 30+ products across APAC and MENA, aligning brand, regulatory, and go-to-market requirements. I created and established core brand identities for Crazy Ants Productions, with visual language, design systems, and pitch decks that have supported multiple project approvals and early funding. I’ve led pre-production branding for film and media projects, developing visual identities, pitch decks, lookbooks, and narrative frameworks. I also founded Aquabuddha in Hyderabad (2018–2019) and worked as Creative Consultant for L’Oréal in Paris (Aug–Nov 2021), building brand identities and content strategies that resonate with global artists.
