A space for projects outside client work, where I explore visual communication, information design, and design craft without constraints.
Logo Design: Identity & Cultural Roots
When it came to crafting the logo for this website, I wanted something that truly represented who I am. After several iterations, I created this design: a blend of आ, the Hindi letter representing my name in my mother tongue, and A, its English counterpart.
This logo combines my cultural roots and personal identity with a flourish of simplicity and elegance.
Editorial Design: Circuit of Culture
I researched and designed a five-issue zine collection that explores how a single disposable vape device becomes meaningful through production, marketing, law, identity, and neurochemistry. This project combines peer-reviewed research, industry analysis, government documents, and neuroscience to reveal the systems that created the global youth vaping epidemic.

Visual Communication: Six Word Memoir
A motivational poster designed for a workshop where the only brief was: six words, core design principles, no tools taught. I used a bull's-eye metaphor to visualize progress and direction — the constraint of working from first principles made it one of the more interesting design problems I've solved.

Dear Data–Inspired Visualization
Inspired by Georgia Lupi’s Dear Data project, this visualization is a personal experiment in collecting and encoding everyday social interactions over one week. Using abstract symbols, color, and form, I mapped who I met, where interactions happened, how we connected, and the emotions involved. Through iterative simplification, I reduced cognitive load and grouped interactions by context to surface patterns—most notably the dominance of school-based interactions and shifts in emotional experience across settings.
