wall street Shibori print pattern
wall street.
I chose to work in particular with the indian street culture. Indian streets is a perfect example of coming together of incompatible elements, yet blending in to create a certain ambience and mood.Since the indian streets was too diverse a theme, i narrowed down to imagery on walls, trucks, and posters.

This was the final project for my screen print course. Since i was using waste to create my swatches, i decided to further use junk to create products out of my prints. I used cycle tyres and fabric to create a temporary room partition.

I used cycle tyres and fabric to create a temporary room partition. I also made a lamp using the technique of rust dyeing, overlayed with screen printing.

WEAVERS STUDIO
I interned at the reknowned design studio ‘Weavers Studio’ in Calcutta. It was an unbelievable learning experience, not just in relation to work, but also as an understanding the dyanamics of a proffessional work place.

A board game developed to expose tourists in Kutch to the craft and the lives of the craftsmen of the weaving village of Bhujodi. The game is aimed to make the information more interactive, hence interesting. The Physical form of the game can be used for other purposes as well. It was also featured at the LENS conference 2010 held at Srishti.
Astitva
An exhibition set up by a team of 9 students and headed by Anders Sandell, leader of the Toy lab at Srishti. The theme was the attack of the giant evil plush octopus on the 8 cities, each city being set up between the two legs of the octopus. Each city then had a toy being invented, to help the city break out of the control of the octopus!

TOY LAB
This toy suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). It was designed to encourage story-telling and imagination around itself since it involves multiple characters within one toy. One character opens into another one and so on. Its a basic idea of a stuff toy but taken forward in terms of interactivity and imagination. It also intrigues the child as it creates a mystery and surprise as well.
multiple play disorder
The toy revolvs around a similar concept as the MPD toy in form. However, these are travel plush toys. They come in the for of a bag monster with contains all the other characters, hence providing as a personal piece of luggage for the child. Moreover, it also has customisable features to make it more personal and engaging for the child. The monsters are travellers, collecters and explorers, and each provide an interaction in order to give the child company while they travel!

Some iterations of the journal that comes along with the toy. The child can fill it up and stick things making it more interesting. It tells the story of each of the character and at the back has a list of statistics which can be then filled up by the kid completely upto his imagination!
wash care ‘The monsters of Monstro-city have always been phobic of big washing machines. It all started when a monstro-tian Boop tried to take a bath in a latest automatic water heating machine instead of simply taking one in the tub, too lazy to heat up water. What came out after the wash, Monstro-city will never forget. Half shrunken- half colourless poor Boop. He still shivers when he hears the sound of the machine! It seems Monstro-tians dont agree to the current and the motion of the machine. So take care of your Monstro-tians and give them a gentle bath with your hands using only luke warm water and some soap. They are not as strong as they pretend to be!’

Bookbeast
for the monster, books were life. he read and he read and he read and he read, until the time everything had been fed into his head. Little did he realise since he had not seen the mirror, he himself was turning into a page, of words, drawings, numbers and could not look funnier !
Wishbone
is a monster loved by many for he grants wishes and makes dreams come true, be it any! How is that possible you wonder? His horns are magic horns with lovely rainbow colours ! They grant your wish if you want it with all your might . so share your secrets and wishes in his heart, and everything will be alright!
