Project Sponsor: Rural Handmade, London (4 months) internship.

I belong to the Manipuri community of Silchar city, Assam. Skills that I am proficient at are research and development, 3D modeling, Prototyping and Graphic Design. I am interested in specifically designing Consumer electronic devices and Medical devices.

Apart from the Graduation project, one of my projects called “Merak” proposes a device that can enable deaf-blind people to do basic tasks like reading books, finding things, communication and many more with a single device efficiently, making the user’s life easier. I worked on various design projects which are handmade and connect rural artisans to the global consumer market. The themes of assurance, reliability, safety and mental comfort came out strongly during the research which was exciting and challenging to base the further process upon. The output of the product had to be specifically handmade. On a personal level, I wanted to learn from different design processes followed by the artisans around the world.
