I love to indulge into something exciting every now and then. Sometimes its a Formula 1 visualisation concept, or visual communication and illustrations, or hackathons and product design tournaments, or reading a variety of books.

Sharing some of my 'out of work' work. Do let me know if you find something interesting :)
Getting inspired from John Lepore's Mixed Reality F1 concept, I designed and developed mine in Adobe After Effects and Figma. I'm currently working on developing it in Unity and plan to prototype on a Mixed Reality headset.

After deliberately committing to design and develop during the Easter holiday's weekend, simultaneously working on our Master’s course, our team (me, Shubham Kelkar and Pratibha Sharma) managed to squeeze out 3 entire days to submit for the hackathon.
And Won the Cambridge Hercules Product Design Tournament (2nd prize); with a note from the committee as well.

What an incredible experience it was to take part in XR HACK London, where my team and I developed a Meta Quest 3 MR app designed to streamline the assembly and disassembly of physical furniture and equipment using Meta's XR All-in-One SDK.
Although we didn't win, it was an amazing collaborative experience to design, prototype and develop under 48 hours of deadline.
Only around 150 out 700+ applications were selected to participate in this hackathon at PWC London. With most of them being industry professionals, developers and experienced designers.

Presentations
I've always had a knack for presenting in front of varied professionals.
Here are some glimpses of the times I presented to stakeholders, industry experts, professors, and technical specialists in India and London across multiple projects.
Presenting to the official videographers of the RCA for the Grand Challenge video 2024.
Visual Design
Layout and illustration design for musical instruments. The instruments were selected after which I illustrated and then composed with the relevant information.
Magazine cover design, logo and photography.
This project explores glaciers and their impact, analyzing ice loss across continents over the years.
Aimed at highlighting this critical issue, I created detailed illustrations and data visualization to showcase the rapid disappearance of glaciers and its severe consequences.
I love illustrating my friends and family members into caricatures. It gives me extra observing capabilities that I utilise in my design work.
This is my best friend Sanskar. I made this caricature as his birthday gift.
Let me know if you want one as well :)
Throughout my career, I had Visual and Communication Design as minor subjects.
This gave a clear sense of layout, typography, color, usability, and purpose to me. Below are few examples from my visual design folder.
This is my other best friend Labdhi. I also made this caricature as her birthday gift.
