I am a graphic design student at the Cranbrook Academy of Art (2D Design) set to graduate in 2009. I'm learning to be a schizophrenic designer by working alongside on a handloom revival project, as well as free-lancing for my favourite design firm and playmates in Delhi. Creator of design language for the award winning store iwannagohome! Singapore, Concept Photography for Chantelle, France and winner of a Merit Scholarship at the Cranbrook Academy of Art USA, I also hold a previous MFA in Graphic Design from the ESAG Penninghen in Paris, France. If you need more details, here is my CV.

Currently based out of Michigan USA, I'm spending time doing some reading. Not one to be reasonable, my new favourite topic is precisely that: arguments on reason and logic. I am a strong advocate of argument as being a means to further a more intense and purposeful discourse on design.

Here's what I'm reading to inform my uninformed self:
The Argumentative Indian - Amartya Sen
Gitanjali - Rabindranath Tagore
Power Politics - Arundhati Roy
Pillar of Sand- Sandra Postel
Shantaram- GD Roberts
The Enchantress of Florence - Salman Rushdie
Arthashastra - Kautilya (still reading this one)
Maximum City - Suketu Mehta
