Saori surprises
I never cease to be amazed when something begun with no expectations, unplanned and free, turns into a beautiful creative process.

Star-spangled glamour
Bring on the disco sparkle!
Presenting the official flag that Shreya and I quilted for the VC (Visual Communication) intro parade at this year’s Monsoon Fiesta.
Monsoon Fiesta is the annual madness mela at NID where the VC and ID (Industrial Design) students get pitted against each other, the kingmakers, and against those eternal underdogs, Foundy (Foundation, the first-year kids) and GN (Gandhinagar, the ‘other’ NID campus) :) it’s weeks of music and dance and creativity wars and rain, and of course, handmade patchwork flags!
