dhruti soni
I've built a solar bath for the monks in the heights of the Himalayas and been attacked by a Bumphead Parrotfish in the depths of Sipadan, Sabah (most definitely scarier than it sounds!).
I've cultivated a need for exploration (a side effect of a nomadic childhood). I love learning and creating — and of course the occasional Netflix binge.

Hike One — Netherlands

I worked with Hike One to complete my Graduate design thesis as an Interaction Design Intern.

Kokuyo Camlin — India
Research & Development Intern
Jun 2018 — Jul 2018
In early 2018, I joined Kokuyo Camlin as a Research and Development Intern - one of India's leading stationary firms. I gained lots of hands on experience working on real-time projects as well as working with manufacturers and engineers to design the best solutions for their customers. Designing aesthetic products that are within the company's budget and viable using existing manufacturing techniques is definitely an art form worth learning.
