Hi! I'm Tanisa, a Rochester-based Indian American product and visual designer currently pursuing a Master in Fine Arts in Industrial Design from the Rochester Institute of Technology.
My design philosophy revolves around pushing the boundaries and creating designs that transcend their initial purpose and function.
Recently, I've found immense joy in creating whimsical realms where young minds can embark on their little adventures.
