About Me

Hey, I’m Shyla Krishnappa!

I'm currently a senior studying Psychology and Design at Tulane University. At Tulane, I am involved with Crawfest, Wavelength A Cappella, and Alpha Phi Omega.

I love using design to tell stories, bring people together, and make ideas feel real. I’m always looking for ways to combine creativity with purpose.

In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, bullet journaling, and singing! I’m from Los Altos, CA where I live with my parents, two brothers, and two dogs.

Below are some photos of me and my life!
