Maithilee Apte

I am an active observer, with eye for details.

I have sound knowledge of materials and processes.

Sensitive to the consumer needs, I have an innovative approach to design problems.

I like to study, analyse and reason traditional Indian products, which were built with impressive aesthetics, while functionality and sustainability were still central.

I believe adding life to materials/ products after their " Perceived end of life stage". So my leisure time is spent in making interesting products from waste.

This cross pollination helps me reposition materials, processes, applications in my daily design problem solving.

Alongside, I am fascinated by kids illustrations and I unwind myself illustrating these "Small Joys".

These renditions are everyday events, which I see as amazing stories.
