Design Dialogue – A monthly column for Printweek India Magazine (2018-2020)

After freelancing with them on and off for years, I started writing a monthly column for Printweek India magazine (a B2B print magazine for the printing community of India, published by the Haymarket Group). The column ‘Design Dialogue’ was created to throw spotlight on some of the most interesting graphic design studios/independent designers based in India and to also create a meaningful connection between the design and printing community.

Here are some pieces I worked on:

Printweek India talks to Ashwini Deshpande, co-founder of Elephant, a design led innovation company that’s been around for three decades

We wanted to follow a deeper ethos and a process oriented approach towards design – Samira Gupta and Dhritiman Deb Pillai, founders, Studio Eksaat

We speak to Ruchita Madhok and Aditya Palsule, co-founders and principal designers of Mumbai based Kahani Designworks about some of their recent work

We speak to the founder of Letterpress Design Studio – Rukminee Guha Thakurta – about her journey as a publication designer

Kashmira Sarode – “Self-publishing has quickly become an essential part of my work”. PrintWeek India talks to the Bengaluru-based independent illustrator and graphic designer about her work experiences

Bhavika Shah: “Paper and print are not developing together in the country”. PrintWeek India talks to the founder and creative director of Mumbai-based Beyondesign about its work and work culture
