design work folio 2015
Design to me is an attitude. It is about perceiving, analysing, synthesizing what’s evident and non-evident to bring about a change. This change is through creation of something new, refinement of existing and forcasting what is to be. These changes, may them be trivial or essential, eventually manifest into each of our lives and thus, design plays its part. How I got absorbed into it ? Since my days of school, I was inclined towards arts and science, understanding crafts and taking experiments seriously. It encouraged me to pursue an undergraduate education in the field of mechanical engineering, where I got a chance to enhance my creative streak along with developing a solid foundation to pursue a graduate education in the field of my interest- Industrial design. A little bit about what I like - connoisseur of culinary arts, I take pleasure in cooking and as a true bibliophile, I love reading books. I like learning different languages and enjoy a good piece of music. I am very inquisitive as a person and numerous question pop up in my mind every now and then. Adventure thrills me, change excites me, perfection drives me, incompetency upsets me and inertia disorients me. I am of the opinion that smart work is the key to growth and one should strive for personal betterment, in whichever form it may be. I carry a never give up attitude and therefore, I am never tired of beginning where other's end.

2D & 3D Radii Manipulation This project was undertaken with an objective of addressing problems of compact spaces in apartments, shared space between dining area and living area and kitchen.
