ABOUT ME
Design helps you self reflect, question your own thought process, preach mlndfulness and what not. Its not about searching a solution, design is a journey within which helps you evolve through the matter of choices that we take overtime. Solution to the problem is just a by product of self evolution process with time and experiences.
Keen on learning how minimal changes in the existing design processes can redefine the character of a space and also to explore the different avenues through which designing can be approached.
I am a piscean with very weak resistance ability to avoid laughter at any kind of situation, Especially if serious!
Working on it!

PROJECT 04
Studio: Craft + Future = ?
Faculty: Prof. Rishav Jain
Teaching Assistant: Ar. Teja Payapalle
Type: Interior Architecture
Graduate Project Sem: 4
Location: Multiple locations, Gujarat
Concept: D.I.Y (Do It Yourself)
“Personalisation of interior spaces through ‘making’ to avoid constant to-and-fro between client, designer and cratsperson.“
12”X12” Cube design to explain the standopint of personalisation of Interior Space through Assembly System Design using craft
There is a sense of loss in this internet age where mass production is rampant. It leads to the apparent irony, meaning that the better connected we are, the lesser connected we feel in an absolute sense.
Nowadays, personalization is everywhere because everyone has a maker’s instinct. It creates emotions, and eventually, emotions take over the future.
So this is the proposition Craft + Future= Makers Movement 2.0, where people will make and personalize their interior environment from the craftspeople. A collaborative approach wherein the designer and everyone else will be a maker. The designer will give a system, and the maker will use it to personalize their environment. Craftspeople will be the catalysts for this change.
