Projects
Lok Ki Kahenge? (What Will People Say?)
An advertising campaign tackling mental health stigma within the younger South Asian diaspora through podcast, digital, and outdoor marketing. Rooted in lived cultural experiences, it leverages storytelling to craft messaging that is both sensitive and relatable.
From Factory to Fashion
An editorial photoshoot and publication spread presented with a mock magazine cover, featuring the model and an unconventional environment captured through flash photography. The concept highlights bold contrasts and unexpected settings to create a striking visual narrative.
Expressive Typography
Julio Cortázar’s short story, House Taken Over, is interpreted through expressive typography and unconventional grids that push the boundaries of language. This approach analyzes and activates the text, enhancing its meaning and resonance for the reader.
