Hello Creatives!! I am 21 year old Product Design Student looking for a 6 month internship, starting from July 2017.
Experimental Kinesthetic Learner Are the words that I gravitate towards I define design as a 3-dimensional space called vacuum. The vacuum of opportunities, within which I play around and push my skills to its maximum potential to come up with creative solutions.

Berg A lamp a born from the collaboration between nature and distilling product down to its very own function.
Features The BERG task lamp attempts to celebrate the traditional analog way of turning on a light. The part representing iceberg consist of LED triangle, lets you adjust the intensity accordingly.
The light itself outputs 400 lumens of light, providing plenty of illumination in any work environment.

Personal Divider
Connected Lighting
The Concept Build with the intention of complete mobility as more and more offices are shifting towards open office plan there is little vacuum for a product capable of dividing space and allows group discussion or break secession. Could be easily carried from one part of the office to another. Mobility - Privacy - Modularity
User Scenario
Moving Around He and his colleague and him remove the wire and take it to the meeting spot.
Preparation For meeting He puts up some sheets, while his colleague pulls the divider to create meeting space.
Coffee Break He uses the divider to create a more intimate space for him and his colleagues to talk.

Utility Case
How can I liberate the experience of business travellers. Fabricate a portable office for a solo traveller which can increase his efficiency of work. Personal Project 5 Days Analysis in group of three.
User
Journey
Challenge To purpose a solution which is hybrid between laptop case and a utility bag. But Roomy enough to carry the essentials to work seamlessly. Dumping stuff in hurry Finding essentials
Intention To carry only what is required. ‘‘ How can I carry my office with me ? ’’
No solid platform to work
Handling multiple luggage
Physical Exploration Selected ideas from post its session and further explored the feasibility of the ideas through different mock-ups.
LUCA
Is a bag born out of epic proportions, a hybrid between laptop case and a utility bag. Designed with the intention to carry only what is required. Roomy enough to fit all of your most important items — laptop, charger, notebook, earphones etc. Which are essential for business travel.
Small Sim card tray for travellers who handle multiple Sims.
What’s Inside
Leather colour variants
Cut in the phone slot gives flexibility to user to charge phone on the go.
Soft foam between the leather to give rigidity to the structure.
Why Triangle? The Triangular structure helps traveller to work seamless without the need of any desk at airport.
Learnings Time management as the project was very short, it demanded quick decision making at each step. Stepping into the shoe of user through personal insights and analysing the difficulties they go through. Not each project requires 3D model as it was a 5 day project, which gave me a chance to challenge my 2D skills to communicate my design and process.
What could be improved In future I will be working on a mechanism to make this bag a flat pack, so that it could be easily stored into luggage.
Leather straps helps the traveller to hold the bag as well as act as a friction on lap, prevents bag to fall.
