STATISTICS AS A DESIGN EDUCATOR
Started my journey as a design educator with designing of my own course titled ‘Futurism and Urban ecology’ at the age of 23 for ISDI Parsons school of design now known as Atlas University. Along with ISDI I was also engaged with Ecole Intuit labs and Vancouver Film School (Mumbai).With over 5 years of teaching experience engaging with students across various disciplines ranging from Product design, Strategic design management, Communication design, Entertainment design, Game design and Concept art.

COURSES CREATED AND TAUGHT
I have crafted courses that go beyond the conventional, nurturing students' creative potential while fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By infusing my design futurist and concept art expertise into the curriculum, I aim to ignite curiosity and empower students to envision innovative solutions. Through my teaching approach, I aspire to instill a lifelong love for design and equip aspiring designers with the tools and mindset to shape a future filled with endless possibilities.
FUTURISM AND URBAN ECOLOGY
Arching back to the past, Living in the present and pointing towards the future.
With this simple intent I created this course that defines the intersection of industrial design and Concept art. This is an enrichment course to equip the Product Design Major Students with skills and techniques that will help them to systematically explore predictions and possibilities about how products and their ecosystems will evolve and how they can emerge from the present. To explore and experiment with how one can time travel with everyday tools such as memory, imagination, manipulation of language and perception etc. Experimenting with various futuristic artstyles to fully understand the potential of their creations and possibilties that it entails.
EXPERIENTIAL FUTURES
Experiential futures, XF, is a family of approaches for vivid multi-sensory, transmedia, and diegetic representations of the future. It is a design-driven, hybrid approach to foresight aimed at increasing the accessibility, variety and depth of available images of the future.
PROCESS & VISUALISATION
The course is structured with a very grounded approach to promote the irreplaceable importance and utility of traditional fundamentals even with various shortcuts and automation provided by the digital tools to achieve a desirable result.
