I enjoyed speaking at @OutlierConf this weekend on how I introduce #cartography to design students: by making schematic maps of hometowns (from all around India & beyond!).

If you missed it, here is a thread of some of the student maps to inspire you!

#Outlier2022 (1/9) First, some context.
After spending all my childhood calling Delhi my *home*, I have sought *home* in many Indian cities: DEL → GOA → Mysuru → BLR → HYD → BOM → Pune → BLR ✨
I perceived each city differently from others & made memory maps to show this.

@OutlierConf — the first-ever conf by @DataVizSociety — kicked off today. So far, it’s been a mix of inspiring #dataviz projects, insights into design processes and SO MANY AMAZING 1:1 CHATS! ♥️

Here’s an ongoing thread with some of my #sketchnotes & links.
#Outlier2021 (1/n) The day kicked off with @MollzMP talking about how she went from *no-one-wants-virtual-confs* to *wait-this-is-a-great-idea*! (I’m paraphrasing!)

A virtual @OutlierConf is:
🌏 Global
🙌 Inclusive
⏰ Flexible
🛋 Comfortable
🌳 Environment-friendly!

#Outlier2021 (2/n)

Over the last month, several designers spoke about the impact of COVID-19 & the changing world around us.

Here are some #sketchnotes & reflections from *6* such conversations, hosted by @DesignUpConf, @ADI_org_in, @adypuniversity, @AnAwesomeConf & LWD PDX.

👇 Mega thread 👇 First up, was this short & light-hearted session by @ADI_org_in, titled Resurgence, ft. @siddharthkabra, @nishma_pandit, @seemaseth, @ghate, @hsuthar & others!

The conversation was focused on how the creative industry is adapting to the new way of working.

Earlier this month, I dropped by my alma mater
@NID_Bangalore for a fun week-long @p5xjs workshop on Computational Design / Generative Art / Data Art.

Here is what I covered, along with thoughts on what worked & what I want to do better next time.

(1/n) 👇 @NID_Bangalore @p5xjs Context: This was for the M.Des. Information Design students, who had just finished a few weeks of Info Vis module.

I was told:
👉 They had a hectic past few weeks, so this should be a breather week 😅
👉 Most had no coding background & had struggled with learning code.

Glad to be back at @DesignUpConf, this year as part of the organizing team, doing graphic recording and helping with the scholarship program. 🙌
Here's a thread with my #sketchnotes, photos & reflections from this year's edition: #DUp18!
(1/n) Yesterday was dedicated to masterclasses, and in the morning, I got a chance to listen to @vlh highlight how animation can be a part of design systems, explain easing curves & walk us through an inspiring set of popular design systems!
