Hey, I'm an Innovator. a Thinker. a Designer. a Researcher. an Artist. Ayan.
Skeptically examining systems and getting to the heart of the problem is my forte. With an ability to thrive within constraints, I strive to make the most of what already exists, before moving onto more radical iterations.

Process
My Work Flow
Assess Before kicking off any project, I try to assess and understand the existing situation by asking the right questions. It helps in setting up the context and gives an idea of the variables involved.
Assemble With these variables in mind, it is crucial to gather the right resources and people to tackle the task at hand. We then build/improvise on existing systems or come up with something completely new.
Action By applying a hands-on and multi-disciplinary approach, I try to conjure up tangible end products for my projects. Also, thinking ahead and improving them as times change is something I always have at the back of my mind.
About
I draw inspiration from the most silliest and rudimentary concepts out there and convert them into useful and realistic ideas. My work approach consists of looking at situations through a critical lens and immersing myself in real-world scenarios. Bouncing and building on thoughts, I enjoy working in teams.
