EXHIBIT DESIGN
1997- 2001
| Founder
and Creative Director, exhibit design firm – Design Aid-India. |
Each
project, undertaken in the course of the four years, was an
experiment in incorporating and exploring a new medium of
visual expression within the broader scope of spatial exhibit
design and installation art. |
The
work during these years lent formative lessons in team building,
vendor networking and management, communication, budget and
time management, besides conceptualization, design and production. |
| All
projects were handled on a turn-key/ design-build basis. |
| Works included two
award-winning projects in International trade shows. |
