She has over 20 years of experience in design and business creation. She has also set up her own design studio specialising in graphic design, branding and exhibition space design.

The pandemic has brought many different challenges for everyone. But educating our young ones is among the top priority. The issue focused on how design education is still possible while most of us are locked in our homes. We also interacted with illustrators and photographers such as Jasjyot Singh Hans and Anirudh Agarwal, who seem to stand firm with their uniqueness in this time of chaos. Overall, this issue serves food for thought with visually stunning creativity on a single platter.
