Hello, I'm Atul Antony, a visual designer interested in the intersection of design, culture, art, and history. I'm drawn to stories hidden in overlooked places and explore how design can communicate these narratives in meaningful ways.
My interest in cultures and communities got me into Srishti Institute of Design where I pursued my B. Des in Human Centred Design. Hunting ideas for socially relevant causes gives me the kicks, which got me enrolled in a few online design challenges.
I recently completed my M.Des in Interaction Design from the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, where I furthered my interest in culture, history, and art through projects focusing on heritage and the arts.
When I'm not engaged in designing, I take great delight in sketching conceptual ideas and painting from nature. I closely follow contemporary art movements, artists, the history of art, and the evolving discourse around aesthetics. Most days, I wind down with a book — anything from Marquez to Rawsthorn finds a place on my shelf.
