Vrinda Sood

Rooted in India’s rich cultural landscape, my design philosophy is shaped by both artistic exploration and functional problem-solving. From an early age, I was fascinated by visual storytelling, constantly experimenting with form, texture, and composition. This curiosity led me to explore various design disciplines—spanning graphic design, spatial design, and illustration—before finding my true calling in Industrial Design, where creativity meets real-world application. Through my education, I have developed a structured approach to design, integrating user-centered research, technical feasibility, and systems thinking. My work focuses on addressing complex challenges where design can enhance efficiency, accessibility, and human experience. By merging creativity with practicality, I aim to develop solutions that are both innovative and impactful, ensuring that design is not just about aesthetics but a catalyst for meaningful change.
