These products are designed inspired by a science lab equipment. It is attempt to explore 'form follows function' thereby reversing the phenomenon to 'function follows form'
The inspiration was to create something which is a labour saving device yet used by hand. A travel iron which is accessible to all personas seemed to be the perfect product. It was also important to make it compact, easy to use and store. As a result of which, it is a foldable iron which can be used by one hand to iron clothes at specific areas or on a table top.
It is battery operated so that there is no hassle with the wires. It can be stored in the folded position so that your hand does not come in contact with the hot iron part.
1. Conceptualization - A lot of sketching was done to explore the different concepts and the way the product should be.
2. Form exploration - to understand the look and feel, mock-up models were made on foam to guage the size, working and mechanism.
3. Final model was made of MDF with different hand tools and shop machines like bandsaw machine, lathe, sanders, etc.
4. Painting - first it was coated with aqua resin and finished using wet sandpaper. It was then painted with spray paint and acrylic colors for detailing and logo.

Inspired by, and following the reading of Paul Elliman’s “My Typographies,” this two-week long exercise asked the students to create a new alphabet, that could double as letter forms and as a self-portrait. "The assignment was to look at typography both as meaning-making symbols whose function is to be strung together to make language, but also as marks on the page which themselves carry cultural connotations that can be 'read'. "The hope was that while the student looked at the distinct forms, lines, and curves that make each letter, they might also look at the associations of their chosen materials, and shapes."
Each of the us created an ambitious and distinct new series of letters that—while fully-functional as an alphabet—also stood in for an aspect of themselves. As Elliman argues, “Writing gives the impression of things. Conversely, things can give the impression of writing.”

To understand the current retail experiences, the team went around exploring a lot of stores. Then with the information and the observation gathered, the AEIOU worksheet was filled out which is a detailed report of the observations in terms of ACTIVITIES, ENVIRONMENT,INTERACTIONS, OBJECTSand USERS in the retail store. This was useful in seeing the bigger picture. Then came the most important part of realizing and articulating what the future of retail would look like. The team had to answer questions about the Domain, the Users, The Purpose and the Brand. This was the foundation of the complete system. At each step the team had to keep delving deeper answering these questions and refining the concept.
When my sister decided to tie the knot with her long time boyfriend, she asked me to design her wedding invite.
This is a SOUTH INDIAN WEDDING, and the inspiration is directly from the different ceremonies that happen during the wedding. One of it is the Swing Ceremony where the Bride and the Groom are seated on a huge swing and are blessed by others.
The wedding takes place around dawn and that is what has been captured in the main invite. Both the Bride and the Groom are in the traditional South Indian attire.

They tested various apparatus from head mounted, neck, and waist mounted. The group developed their product in a tactile manner by purchasing over a half dozen similar products and components to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses in performance. They also sourced and experimented with various components to create the most robust producttesting the boundaries of materials, analyzing the structure and usability of each version. From classmates, to friends and family, the team continually got feedback on the versions of the product as it was being developed.
