Designer as Documentarian

As a design practitioner whose work focuses on under-represented cultures and scripts, Pooja spoke about the need to don the additional hat of a documentarian to participate in the creation of design resources and archives needed to succeed as an individual and a community. Among the projects she highlighted was India Street Lettering, discussing what an asset it has been to her practice by teaching her to look beyond the confines of typographic expression that she learned in educational environments.
