Hello, once again

I am an- cheetah, like the animal that runs superrr fast?

I am passionate about designing for almost any context and love the fact that being in a creative field allows me to tap into a multitude of contexts. I am that person who reads 2 pages of a book and gets superly excited about the next topic and begins digging into that. Adds further to why I love research and experimentation based practices. Finding the new, the unknown tickles my brain and is what keeps me going.

I’m passionate about participatory design, design strategy, research, design for social impact, designing for children, theatre, storytelling, mountains, dogs, cats, landscapes and the list goes on.

WHERE I HAVE WORKED

At present I work at Skillmatics, an educational toys and game company as a product/ game designer. Here I work on designing play based learning material, activities and games for children of all ages across varied learning outcomes

Currently a work at Skillmatics, a global toys and games brand, where as a product designer I design play based learning activities, games and toys for children! The part of my job that I love the most is where I get to play with children, test our products with children and also play games for a living and get paid to think like a child. I have recently also started managing projects and I get to see the entire product loop from its inception to production to reaching a consumers hand plus their feedback. Here I get to combine my love for children and play with my apprehensions of a corporat-ish job (?) to push myself to discover new facets of myself and learn from a system I hated without understanding.

Here’s something I wrote about all my learnings through the challenge I put myself up for.

Parallely, I also work as a research and development fellow at Light Up EMF, where I use design research methodologies to synthesise insights and develop a curriculum for a flagship 2 fold Mental health cum leadership programme for youth from low income communities. Here I get the opportunity to combine my interest in research along with understanding the development sector.

Before this I completed my thesis project in collaboration with the Living Labs Network and Team YUVAA in which I combined my love for theatre with design and community based interventions (I wasn’t lying when I said I’m excited by a lot of things). This led to my first written play still in the works.
