Little bit about me#

Hey!

I'm Riha! You might know me as Hari/Harikrishnan.

Most of what I do sits at the overlap between data, programs, and the people running them. I help organisations understand what their information is telling them. I also build systems that make reporting and tracking easier, and I bridge the gap between people collecting data and people making decisions with it.

I have worked across nonprofits, startups, and field programs in very different contexts. That range helps. I can move between a funder report and a ground visit, between a CEO dashboard and a field team's daily log, without losing the thread of either.

That is one part of what I do,

Another part of what I have been doing recently is focusing on creative forms of communicating about ecology, biodiversity and climate change. I create observational sketches and paintings that focuses on the "not so big" and unpopular creatures, which are often neglected"
