Space 2017. Draft 3
Space museum motion logo
Motion video created for promoting my imaginary museum "Space".
As part of the MICA imaginary museum project, I came up with the concept of "zero gravity museum" and name it "Space Museum". I further focused on branding this museum to create an impact and buzz. I created various branding designs using various material and physical products such as bags, floating pens etc.

Ferrari 288 GTO Promo
I love to explore various facets of design during my free time. This is once such situation where my love for cars inspired me to create a commercial for Ferrari.
Semester 1. 2016
This is the portfolio of my very first semester at MICA and extra enthusiasm and curiosity went into creating these designs. I worked on multiple projects one of which was the game lab. This was a very challenging project as I had to create designs using different materials which I was not exposed to before. For the 2016 international students competition, I created a poster that represents a very common topic, Identity crisis. During my 1st sem, I also took a Typeface class as I was very interested in this area of design. As part of this, I created a new font. For the A.K.A project, I created a physical design of a card game.
QUAD Card game 2016
As part of this project, I created a new card game that focuses on simple design and easy usability.
I designed both the game and the look and feel of the packaging/branding.
Workbox 2015
This is a collection of some of my work prior to MICA. The projects have 3 major focus areas, branding, illustration and UI/UX app designs.
7 HOURS game book 2013
A thriller 54 page comic game book that I designed from scratch (Story, Characters, Ink and Dialogs). The highlight of this work was a game in the form of a book platform. This game book was officially published in 2013 and had won many prizes in college fest.

- UI/UX Design (Client- Summit, Itron, Stryker, 4R Systems, JBL)
As an interaction designer, I worked with multiple clients to create UI/UX designs and manage junior designers. I have worked on projects that require cross-platform/device designs and this gave me the opportunity to understand the dimensions of various devices and operating software across all these projects. I have worked on brainstorming the experience, creating the wireframe and nally designing the UI.
​
- Data Visualisation (4R Systems)
This was a relatively new concept for our team and this project gave me the opportunity to explore this section of the design. Working with analysts to understand data and then create visualizations that help communicate the data kindled my enthusiasm. The nal output consisted of multiple data visualisation elements put together to form a dashboard.
