My Intrests

I have a keen interest towards developing and creating a product, till the nal stage.

My line of interest lies in the day to day life objects. Prototyping is one of the tools that helps

me to develop my ideas to the next level.

About Me

I am an Undergraduate in Product and Interface Design from Srishti School of Art, Design

and Technology, Bengaluru, Karnataka. I am looking forward to work on projects that involve

research, ideation and nal detailing of the product.

Trash to Treasure




Trash to Treasure

The aim of the project was to design a ‘Luxury

Product’ with the help of raw materials taken out

of junk and waste products. The most

important task was to have a maximum

dierence in the price between the possible

M.R.P. of the product and the cost of the raw

materials. The end product was a luxurious night

lamp designed to look magnicent at the center

of a room and was made just out of somelow- cost stainless steel buckets and

Christmas lights. The skeleton was exible

enough to allow the light structure to move as

per the need of the user.

About The Product

The Making

The time allotted was just two weeks and we

had, in such a short time to nish our project

which included drilling two holes at the base of

each bucket (20’‘and 18’’) and then xing them

to a central skeleton pipe as well as the loops of

Christmas lights.




Malgudi

Alternatives

The ‘Alternatives’ word came from the idea of

the whole project. It was a revival of the

books and the television shows based on

R.K.Narayanan’s ‘Malgudi Days’. The object

was a kind of time machine in which the

product and the ambience try to recreate that

era. The idea was to describe the simple

stories about honesty and simplicity to the

young generation of today who are deprived

of all these virtues and morals of life.

About The Product

The Making

There are ve interactive objects which

together create the ambience. The Box, as a

transducer, makes the Lamp glow as one

approaches the installation, accompanied by

emerging music out of the Loudspeaker. Bothof them fade out when someone opens the

Book and a movie starts playing as you peep

through the hole in the book, creating a fantasy

like feature. The moment you pick up the Pen

out of the Inkpot, the credits of the m ovie start

coming, signifying that nothing can be added

to the stories, they are evergreen.




Tupperware Megh




Tupperware Megh

The project was in creating plastic containers

as per the requirements of a modern Indian

middle class family . A thorough research wasmade by visiting sixteen individual houses

and datas were collected. Parallel market

research trips were also made, having

relevant meetings with the sales department

of tupperware.

About The Research

The Design

The product was a water container which was

designed for specically cooling water inside arefrigerator. The container takes the negative

space of the fridge as it has to be suspended on

the underside of the shelf. There was a Tonality

Board (Top Left) created for developing the

form and Used Case Scenario (Top Right) for the

function.

Snake Stick




Snake Stick

The idea was to make a mechanical product

with the form that is non conventional. The

product I chose was a snake catcher. It was

based on basic Physics principle, ‘Leverage’

but was tremendously dicult to apply when

it came to prototyping.

About The Product

The Making

There are three main components in the

product. One is an aluminum shaft with a wire

inside it which also also provides a safe distance.

There is a trigger at the top of the product which

pulls the wire inside to result in an action. The

lower part is a pivoted jaw. When the wire is

pulled, the jaw closes because of the pivot move-ment and holds the object in place. The jaw and

the trigger were made out of nylon which was

hand crafted and given the shape.




Tissot Watch




Travel Luggage




Travel Luggage

The brief was to design a luggage for the Indian

customer. The project went through three

dierent stages- research, ideation and nal

product development.

This was my Diploma project which was

conducted under Onio Design Pvt. Ltd. andtherefore I am not able to share thenal product.

About The Project

The Process

The project started from desk research where I

studied the entire range of existing products

and the process undertaken in making of the

luggage. The next stage for the project was the

user research where I interacted with the user

when he is using the luggage and when at

home. The ideation started in form of sketching

and 2D vector Drawings. The ideas were

permutated and combined to form the nal

product.
