ABOUT
HI, I'M SACHI
I’ve worked on a wide variety of projects (some are on this website, some on Instagram, some on this portfolio), I have studied at places mentioned below. Now that we’ve covered that…
I’m an ardent generalist who really just loves people. I come from a culturally complex place (India) and am extremely aware of the implications of inclusion and exclusion through design. I care deeply about inclusive design but I also care about making digital spaces less bland. Humans are interesting folk and we deserve digital spaces that reflect it! Good writing excites me. I aim to become a version of Susan Sontag, Patti Smith, Rebecca Solnit and Anthony Bourdain all in one. I want to dabble with interesting ideas and see them take form whether through design or writing.
Here are how some of my values have evolved as a designer over time ↗
