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.

The Sustainability Network

Identity Design

Goli Soda is a store in Chennai that focuses on sustainable living, and frequently hosts events and workshops to encourage more people to adopt simple but effective lifestyle changes that have a meaningful, positive impact on the environment. The Sustainability Network is a podcast hosted by the founder of the store, in which she meets other small businesses from India that share the same goal.

I developed the visual identity for the podcast keeping the colour palette consistent with the store’s branding. The logo is a very literal interpretation of the podcast, where the words are linked by vines growing into each other. The vines creeping along the edges of the posters are meant to be a literal ‘network’ linking different compositions placed next to each other.
