First-year design student. I draw things, I write about things, I make extremely earnest websites.
I'm in my first year of a graphic-design BFA at Srishti, where I show up to mostly all my classes. My favorite tool is a 0.3mm rOtring. My second favorite is the back of a receipt. I'm easily made happy by good coffee, bad puns, and obscure typefaces from the 1970s.
A 32-page zine on bus stops. Printed on a flatbed riso in Bandra.

Six posters for the freshers' film club. They got hung up.

Hand-lettered the alphabet on butter paper. Twice.
Lettering(The crossed-out ones, I can do. The others, ask me again in six months.)
Made book covers. Mostly fetched coffee. Learned grids the hard way.
Hand-letter wedding invites for friends-of-friends. ₹3,000 per envelope.
Stuffed badges, set up signage, learned what 100-pt type looks like at 2am.
Or an email, if you prefer paper to digital things only metaphorically. I read everything within a day, sometimes within an hour. Internships, collaborations, recommendations for old type specimens — all welcome.
