NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DESIGN

I'm a lifestyle accessory designer and I'm proud to say that because what we observe are the minute details which enhance the quality of an individual's life. Understanding people in terms of their behaviour, emotions, their interaction with daily life objects and how do we make that interaction better by making something meaningful is what I am interested in. Developing a product doesn't only mean solving a certain problem, it also demands mapping of the overall imapct it has on that particular system linkage and also it's impact on the environment which involves speculating it's afterlife and the disposal of the product. My ability to identify possibilities of innovation drives me to constantly explore ways of designing problem solving products with a user centric approach. This involves not only technical and creative skills but also my ability to empathize with people. My design approach aims to achieve a balance between functionality and aesthetics, with an intent of not only making my designs inclusive but also contributing to the environment. I have always been driven towards sustainable materials and products. I'm really interested in material innovation and would like to develop materials that are not adds to the value in terms of it's purpose but also adds a sustainabilty factor to it. I have done a few projects that incorporate sustainable materials, like bamboo, terracotta clay etc. I am a person who wants to make the world a better place and help everyone with my designs so that everyone around me lives a happy life.
