SKILLS
HELLO!
I'M paridhi.
A NEW MEDIA DESIGNER & CREATIVE ALGORIST
ABOUT ME
I have a keen interest in the speculative prototyping of interfaces augmenting the everyday surfaces we interact with. I believe combining technology with our “natural” inclinations in seamless ways will help us redefine the boundaries of the possible. What awaits us are new experiences, unique forms of expression and surprising relationships with our environment through which 21st century humanity will shape its understanding of the world.
I began my professional training with a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion and Apparel Design from The National Institute of Fashion & Technology (NIFT) where I learnt the nitty-gritties of garment construction & surface ornamentation - working with crafts like weaving, embroidery, knitting and crocheting. Afterwards, the Masters programme in New Media Design from The National Institute of Design (NID) introduced me to the world of electronics and creative coding. It was at NID that I began to put emerging technologies to work in an artistic and expressive context, whilst drawing on my fashion and apparel background.
