Hi, I’m Roshni.

I'm a graphic designer from Chennai, India, currently based in New York. I hold an MFA in Communications Design from Pratt Institute, where I also worked with the Office of International Affairs. Prior to that, I contributed to Ashvita’s, a cultural space in Chennai.

My work is grounded in an interest in the tactility of handmade objects and analog processes. My visual language and design approach is shaped by experiments in materials and textures.

Tending to a kitchen garden is an act of care towards the self, towards the community, and towards the spaces we occupy. It’s a labour of quiet resistance against food that is packaged, purchased and reduced to a commodity. This zine is an introduction to growing your own fruits, vegetables and herbs anywhere you can find space.
