Chanderi Project – Government Tourism Initiative Worked on-site in Chanderi village to contribute to a cultural tourism project aimed at celebrating the region’s textile legacy through large-scale wall art. Engaged in in-depth research on Chanderi sarees, motifs, and weaving traditions to ensure the visuals reflected local identity and craftsmanship. Participated in creating design concepts, selecting color palettes, and developing digital motifs that translated traditional aesthetics into contemporary expressions. Collaborated closely with local artisans and residents while painting community spaces, ensuring the designs resonated with everyday life and cultural values. Supported on-ground coordination and teamwork, helping manage logistics and maintain a cohesive visual language across multiple sites. This experience deepened my understanding of how design can connect communities, preserve heritage, and transform spaces through meaningful visual narratives.
