Experimental designs and side projects crafted to push boundaries.
Portfolio Logo
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.
Digital Zine Design
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.

Graphic Design
I took a Graphic design workshop in Summer'25 and this was my final deliverable. We weren't taught to use any tools but the basic principles had to come up with a poster that is a 6 word memoir so I designed a motivational poster using a bull’s-eye target metaphor to represent progress, focus, and direction.

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.
