Project : USB dongle design The project involved New Product Development for USB Dongle at Platform Level. The Design involved form generation, product graphics. Virtual and Physical textures, colors were also explored during the project.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Client : Larsen &Toubro (proposed) Project :
Technically Complex Product -Display for Fuel Dispensing UnitThe consumer segment, starting from four wheelers to HMV drivers & Owners face a typical problem of ‘Obstructed Vision’ with Displays. Henceforth considering the ergonomic issues, concepts were generated for the Display of Dispensing Unit.

Client : NAB(National Association of the Blind ) Project :
Product Packaging -Blind Cane Blind cane for visually impaired people was selected for the course of Packaging. Redefined problem statement at which I derived was-Redesign a packaging for four section folding cane which will increase the product life and will make the product more user friendly.
Client : Arunim( NGO ) Project :
Green Design -Toothbrushes General practice is to use the toothbrush for the span of 3to 4 months. After that these brushes are used in Kitchens as well as in garage for cleaning automobile parts. There is no value addition and traditional reuses of toothbrush don’t act as an income source. In green design, I have tried to add value to the reuse of toothbrushes; which can work as a income source.
Client : PNAVPS Blind School, Koregaon.
Project : Design for Special Needs -Game Design for Visually Impaired People To develop fundamental communication and cognitive skills, children who are blind require environment that allow them to take in new information, respond to it and act on it appropriately. The children from school which I have taken for case study, were finding it difficult to deal with academic skills.
