2. • Doodles: Pop up Children’s Book
Doodles was born in this year summer. I wrote this story after a lot of reading and exploring children's book. William Joyce, Maurice
Sendak, Quentin Blake were my favourites. The story was inspired from a book called “Let’s draw a story” from Illustration school.
This book also became my undergraduate thesis project. Couple of spreads were designed to be pop ups so as to make this book
interactive. I have written, designed and Illustrated this book.
During my recent thesis show some of visiting publishers had showed interest. My 5 year old niece was delighting to see and hear
the book. I do plan to develop this further into an augmented reality pop up book app for children.
Next few pages would show you some illustrations/ spreads. One of the illustrations has images to explain the process I followed to
finish these images.

12. • An app to explore art in San Francisco chinatown
The project was conceptualised for Chinese Cultural Centre who are looking to reframe Chinatown. Chinatown in San Francisco is
a host to more number of tourists than any other tourist attraction in the city. CCC also commissions Street/ Mural Art, sculptures all
over Chinatown.
A need to engage tourists with their culture, artwork and various attractions gave birth to an idea of forming an app that could be
used by their visitors irrespective of their background. An intensive research was made for various available and upcoming murals,
artists, how did they come about, their meaning and their locations. Tour routes were suggested on the basis of the data. An option
of audio tour and augmented reality completed the concept.
The idea right now exists in CCC office. If approved would be polished further in accordance with their website.
