Visual direction for OpenNyAI Makerspace, Kochi edition.

OpenNyAI brings together developers, designers, and domain experts to build AI solutions for India's legal and civic challenges. The makerspace is where that work happens in person collaborative, fast-paced, and deeply technical.

The challenge: a space like this can feel intimidating to first-timers. My job was to make sure the visuals didn't.

I led the entire visual direction for the event translating a technically dense subject into something warm, approachable, and human. Everything had to say: you belong here.

Here's what I delivered:

→ Social media templates: consistent, on-brand, ready to use → Motion videos: to build event presence and energy → Event collateral: print and digital materials for the day itself → Presentation design: clean, structured, and visually cohesive → Cards and more: every touchpoint considered

Worked across Figma, Canva, After Effects, and whatever the moment called for.

This one mattered. Design for civic tech is design with purpose.
