A SHORT BIO
I was born in India, studied Industrial design and started my design firm (a muse) in New Delhi
from 2006 till 2008. My work then was purely driven by curiosity and utopian ideals. I worked
on projects related to culture, often material centric design, sustainability and public spaces.
My background as an industrial designer has trained me to make difficult and
complex tasks into simple and elegant solutions. Often a solution with a theory, story or an
underlying philosophy beyond basic functionality.
Currently i am pursuing ‘design for interaction’ studies at TUDelft to experiment with the
psycho-emotional angle to human interactions. In the recent past i had the opportunity to
showcase my projects at the Salone del mobile in Italy, and at TU/eindhoven for an interaction
design conference. Currently i am keen to further apply my understanding in the domain of
product-service system designs, the web and interactive spaces.
