I'm Arvind, a designer and strategist working to integrate the industrial, digital and human.
My projects span from biomaterial design and biomedical device engineering to experience design and visual storytelling. I craft critical concepts, accessible products, and systemic frameworks through a rigorous research-led and human-centered design and prototyping process that aims to drive ideas, action and growth in complex environments; across climate-tech, med-tech, ed-tech and the social sector.
Currently at Big Dreams Studio. and graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design (MID'23).
