Farming futures

Developed as an academic exercise, this project examines the agency & disparity between small & large hold indian farmer. The project uses a system of 6 capitals(economic, social, natural, human, material & cultural) as a proxy for agency and assess the farmer’s access to these capitals. It also maps out the interactions between various stakeholders that enable the exchange of these capitals. iN doing so it brings out key insights that underline the motivations of small farmers & their challenges in negotiating agency. The summation of the project is a data visualisation that captures all of this information via a giga map. The project then goes onto develop four design briefs that use these learnings to question the existing system & imagine new possibilities.

MBTI Data portrait

This project aimed to delve into and comprehend the systems of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Through the categorization of individuals based on the MBTI and real-life comparisons, it was observed that the classifications are more of a spectrum rather than absolute categories. To visually represent this spectrum, a visualization utilizing basic shapes and colors was developed. The interactive process involved users inputting their MBTI type and percentages, which resulted in the generation of their unique badge. The coding aspect of the project utilized the p5.js framework, enabling the creation of dynamic and visually engaging visuals. Overall, the project provided an innovative and visually intuitive way to explore and understand the nuances of MBTI types.

Form re-design

This project originated from the fundamental question of why forms are often challenging to fill out. Specifically, the focus was on the 15G form, which pertains to banking and aims to prevent taxation on income below a certain level. The original form, user-filled data, and the bureaucratic processing involved were thoroughly examined and analyzed. To address the issues identified, a redesign was implemented, simplifying the complex jargon and applying principles of information design. Techniques such as visual hierarchy, thoughtful font selection, effective grouping, appropriate enclosures, and precise micro and macro spacing were employed to enhance the form's usability and user experience, making it more accessible and easier to navigate for individuals filling it out.
