Schobal app - UX Project
Schobal is a student education network aimed at enhancing the quality of knowledge for students by providing information about global and local opportunities. We recognize the disparities in the educational experiences of students living in rural areas compared to those in cities, as their knowledge levels often differ due to the available options and their parents' level of knowledge. To address this, the Schobal app will tailor its content to students' areas of interest and showcase a global network of students with diverse abilities from around the world.
Logo Design
Sustainability Development Goals logos inspired by Google Design Style
In my exploration of icon design, I embarked on a self-study journey to create a set of eight icons that draw inspiration from Google's iconic design style. These icons are a visual representation of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reflecting my commitment to sustainable and meaningful design. By infusing these SDGs with the distinctive aesthetics of Google's product icons, I aimed to convey the significance of these global objectives through the synergy of syntax and semantics. These icons stand as a testament to my passion for both design and sustainable development, and they are a proud addition to my portfolio. more.....

Logo Designed for IIT Bombay Trust Lab
I crafted the logo for IITB Trust Lab, recognized among the Best Logos. Following guidelines, I avoided red tones for legibility and versatility on products like T-shirts and mugs. The shield-inspired design with a floral motif symbolizes Trust Lab's diverse connections. Four variations cater to different backgrounds, crafted with Adobe Illustrator. It's an effective representation of Trust Lab and highly marketable.
Internship works - Empty State Animation- TATA Neu
During my internship at TATA Digital, I had the opportunity to create a few empty state animations. The main task was to use RIVE, a software that could significantly reduce file sizes compared to JSON files created in After Effects. This challenge involved starting from scratch and learning everything about this new software.
This experience allowed me to explore various possibilities and develop a pipeline to make the empty state animations more efficient in terms of file size. This initiative received positive feedback and appreciation from higher-ranking officials within the company. It wasn't just about using the software; I was able to optimize the animation production process, resulting in more streamlined and compact files

Internship works - 3D Category icon - TATA Neu
During my internship at TATA Digital, I had the incredible opportunity to contribute to one of India's premier e-commerce super apps, TATA Neu. In my role as a motion graphics and visual designer, I was tasked with creating numerous 3D models for category icons used within the application. The challenge was to craft realistic 3D models that could be rendered to align with their specific visual requirements. This experience was truly enriching, and it allowed me to be part of a remarkable project. To view a selection of my 3D models and learn more about my internship journey, please visit my Internship page. Read more......

Internship works - Exploring Possibilities Of RIVE - TATA Neu
In my free time, I enjoy exploring various technical possibilities. I created a simple interactive simulation that responds to the direction of the cursor. As I delved deeper into this exploration, I had the opportunity to adapt the same interactive concept for TATA Neu Pass, where it responds to cursor movement.
Later, I extended this exploration to the realm of mobile devices, this time incorporating gyroscopic inputs. Developers had to link the directional inputs from the x and y axes to the simulation. With this setup, TATA Neu Pass could now interact based on the gyroscope sensor input, providing an entirely different and engaging user experience.

Augmented Reality (AR) - Gift Card
It is my self-initiated projects, I created an engaging AR Domestic Animal Gift Card for kids. This interactive experience seamlessly blends technology and education by incorporating five meticulously designed 3D animal models, brought to life using Blender, Unity, and Vuforia SDK. Leveraging image tracking technology, this immersive tool not only captivates young minds but also fosters a deeper understanding of domestic animals, making learning a delightful adventure.
AR Greeting Card - Greeting Card
This AR greeting card celebrates our diverse cultural traditions, bridging geographical gaps and fostering togetherness. Inspired by India's Pongal festival, it features sugarcane, traditional dishes, Rangoli patterns, and Deepam lamps, accompanied by soul-stirring music. Beyond a greeting, it's an emotional journey, reconnecting recipients with their heritage and igniting curiosity, especially vital for the younger generation growing up away from their roots.

Pakkad - Group Assignment
My shots
Pakkad is an animated short film that I created as part of an assignment. With a duration of 1.37 seconds, the task assigned to our class was to collaborate on a single chase scene for the film, using a medium of our choice. I have a passion for working in 3D animation, so I took the lead in crafting the 3D elements for this project. The shot featured in the clip was entirely animated by me. Additionally, I played a key role in the collaborative effort on the background design as part of the team.
Keer - Group Assignment

Interactive Animation - RIVE
Secure Folder Barking Dog
This interactive animation was created using RIVE. The concept behind it is to enhance folder security by providing a clear visual indication to users that a folder is secure and should not be opened without authorization. When a user interacts with the secure folder, a delightful animation is triggered: a dog emerges from the folder icon and playfully barks. This engaging feature not only reinforces the idea of security but also contributes to an enjoyable user experience.
