Hello!
I’m Johanna Huarachi 🌸
I am a designer with an interdisciplinary background in Psychology, Latino Studies, and the natural sciences
But really… who am I? 👀
I'm a first-gen Bolivian-American currently pursuing my MDes in Interaction Design at CCA and working as a UX design intern at PROS. I'm also a DMV-native and am based in San Francisco.
When I'm not designing, you'll probably find me playing badminton, taking photos, or trying to keep up with my dog Toto (he's 2 & a cute bundle of chaotic energy).
Why Design?
Values
Goals
My psychology background taught me that understanding human behavior is everything—and design is where I get to apply that understanding to create real solutions. I love the detective work of user research, figuring out what people actually need versus what they say they need. Plus, there's something deeply satisfying about taking complex problems and making them feel simple and intuitive.

"Ms. Huarachi did a spectacular job working with our research team. After hearing about the project's goal and target audience, she worked independently to create a visually appealing, culturally informed, clear infographic that will expand our reach. She readily incorporated feedback and was extremely professional. I would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Several things impressed me about Johanna's performance with my group. First, she clearly has an inherent ability for UX and UI and a strong understanding of how to tailor a product to a particular population. Second, the design itself was beautiful and at the same level as similar products generated by experienced graphic designers hired for previous projects at MGH.. Finally, Johanna was consistent, reliable, and very easy to work with."
