I know it sounds really irrelevant, but such trains of thoughts that often rail towards “conferences of strange” help a student develop innate comprehension of Design. The underlying point nudges one to make an attempt at contextualising his/her creation. Also, regardless of one’s attempt, the context exists and also exist the infinitesimal shifts in the aforementioned context. It’s the ability of one to justify and provide a sensible and/or senseless reason to these shifts that determines the intellectual positioning of one’s creation.

B.O.P. BOARD GAME (wip)
Details unavialable :/
REBRANDING CHRISTMAS.
1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women have a hard time distinguishing between red and green. We realized that Christmas time is probably even worse for them, when everything is red and green. We collaborated with Dr Jay Nietz at Nietz Colorvision Lab, and designed Christmas cards that are easily seen by colourblind people.
The project was a success, and was covered by various magazines and The Hindu.It spread many cheers across social media platforms as people shared our cards with their loved ones.
WHAT IF ?
I collaborated with a writer from New York, Tanvi Tandon to design a picture book for children. Being imaginative is a skill learnt from a very young age, and urging kids to read wildly illustrative books helps them develop fascinating thought processes, through beautiful visuals.
The book won the GOLD PRIZE at the 2016 Applied Arts Mag Awards, Canada.
A Different Calendar
While working with a design studio on a short stint, I was tasked with designing an intensely illustrated calendar along with a relevant story.
The Roman gods and goddesses make their calendar debut!
Ideation. Writing. Illustration.
COW ACADEMY.
Once a failed project for a milk branding,
I'm now working on designing an academy for our beloved cows. Why must only humans receive education? Why not put cows in universities and see how they fare?
Certainly and undoubtedly better than us mortals down here.
WORK IN PROGRESS.
GUYSEXUAL.
While my stint at The Guysexual as a creative director, I illustrated a long line of stories, the most viewed being the series for NETWORK 18's FirstPost columns. It was all about getting the tone
of the establishment right - funky and sassy without any fear of being bold.
