Audiogyan is a collection of wide-ranging conversations with designers, artists, musicians, writers, thinkers, and luminaries of the Indian creative world. Started in 2016 by Kedar Nimkar, the podcast hopes to expand the definition of design, document, archive, and inspire fellow generation artists.
Today I have Kruti Saraiya with us on Audiogyan. Kruti is a graphic designer/ typographer based in Mumbai. The focus of her practice has been to allow for a contemporary Indian design narrative to emerge to fill the gap between kitsch and traditional Indian crafts. She graduated from the London School of Printing. She has worked with Rabia Gupta Designs, Mumbai and taught at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, Indian School of Design and Innovation (ISDI) and Ecole Intuit for several years.
