Rekha Tenjarla
I remember when the internet was fun, when it still held hope. I aim to create experiences, aesthetics, and systems in that spirit.
Currently, I work at Fathom Information Design.
For a decade before that, I built interactive news stories, taking ideas from reporting and rough concept through design, code, and production.
