about ranjani

so, about me?

i'm ranjani. i grew up in chennai, india. i’m a digital designer having worked across visual design, 3D, motion and interactive media and actively looking for new opportunities in this space.

i recently completed my masters at NYU ITP, where I explored realtime media, projection mapping, interactive experiences, computational design, digital fabrication, game design and artistic research.

i approach unfamiliar tools with curiosity and the idea that they’re "figureoutable". i thrive where the work is a good mix of creative, technical and collaborative. nerd alert?

hello world! i'm ranjani, a multidisciplinary designer building digital experiences rooted in play, participation and storytelling.

my work spans visual design, branding, 3D, interactivity & motion, using emerging tech and AI assisted code to create new possibilities.
i find being defined by a single box too confining-- instead, i see my work as a grid. an interconnected system of all that i'm curious about.

if you haven't already, click and play on the grid by dragging your cursor on it. and don't forget to sign my guestbook!remember to sign my guestbook before you go!
