Episode 194 - Anoushka Khandwala - Designer, Writer, Educator - London UK.
Today's guest is Anoushka Khandwala. She is a designer, writer, and educator based out of London in the UK.
During this episode we talk about:
-her introduction to art and creativity from her mom.
-she wanted to study paint and fine art but changed to graphic design, and what went into that decision.
-when she first noticed the lack of women of colour in design and how she was motivated to write a paper on the issue. She talks about where the paper was published and what it did for her.
-the panel she ran with Ladies Wine + Design in London.
-the festival artwork that she loved and why it stood out to her.
-how design is viewed and valued (or not) and why.
-the "open dialogue" project she was a part of and why she is so proud of it.
I loved hearing her view of the design community and how she is doing her part to increase diversity in the industry. Awesome! @anoushkakhandwala
