Nirubhama Venkatachalam

My professional experience is serving as a ceramics instructor at Goodman ceramic studios and as a freelance designer, creating commissioned pieces and leading small-scale pottery workshops. I have completed an internship with Love, Bonito, where they worked closely with the principal print designer to create print files, develop colorways, and produce mockups. 

In addition, I have experience as a digital designer for Women Unbounded, designing social media carousels and collaborating with writers and creative leads to produce relevant artwork for blog posts and events. I have also completed an independent systems design project for Educating for Sustainability, conducting research to identify possible interventions and developing an inter-school portal as an end product. 

I am well versed in Adobe suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, XR), Figma, 3D design software such as Rhino and Maya, and have some experience in developing with Unity. I also have previous experience with conducting user research through interviews, developing surveys and using card sorting methods. 

I have a bachelors in Industrial Design from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, and have completed certifications in  AI100: Python Programming and Data Visualisation and am currently pursuing a specialist diploma in Immersive Simulation, and exploring AR and VR technologies.
