Hello! I'm Arvind, a design engineer and strategist currently working at Big Dreams Studio.

I'm investigating the balance between the industrial, digital and natural, with projects spanning biomaterial fabrication and biomedical device innovation, to engagement strategy and visual storytelling. I develop creative concepts, functional prototypes, digital experiences and organizational tools that prioritize people and the planet. Recently received a Master's in Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design, and have a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from Symbiosis Institute of Technology.
