Creative Educational Technologist

I am an Industrial Innovation Designer, Maker and an Educator. With over 8 years of experience in Industrial Design, I am known for my very hands-on approach towards any task I’m given. I have a strong knowledge of manufacturing processes and excel in prototyping techniques. I have worked in various fields ranging from aviation to tech-ed and have even conducted my own workshops on simple robotics, clay sculpting and low poly material handling. I am a curious, open-minded person and a fast learner who loves problem-solving. In my free time, I also enjoy creating fun, innovative products.

Design & Tech

An idea turns into a concept, a concept turns into a design. My expertise lies in transforming designs into reality using a comprehensive array of tools. I specialize in jugaad, low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototyping, material handling, laser cutting, 3D printing, and digital technologies such as CAD modelling, augmented reality, and virtual reality.

Jugaad

1. a flexible approach to problem-solving that uses limited resources in an innovative way.

   "countries around the world are beginning to adopt jugaad in order to maximize resources"

Jugaaḍ is a non-conventional, frugal innovation, in Indian subcontinent. It also includes innovative fixes or a simple workarounds, solutions that bend the rules, or resources that can be used in such a way. It is considered creative to make existing things work and create new things with meager resources.
