Hello! I am Aanchal, a logic-guided and functionality-driven multidisciplinary designer currently based in Edinburgh. I am a graduate of National Institute of Design (India) with over ten years of experience designing digital products, graphics and textiles.
Working with startups my entire career, I have donned many hats and learned skills that help me design with flexibility and quality on extremely frugal deadlines! Each project's context, peculiarities, constraints and players guide my approach to arriving at logical solutions. That said, I believe that for a product to be successful, it also has to be aesthetically appealing, practical and joyful to use.
Aside from work, I'm an avid cook and a serial hobbyist - always trying new things and learning along the way. Currently I'm studying realistic painting at the Edinburgh Atelier of Fine Art.
