This narrative is a result of discussions around the Covid-19 pandemic 😷 and around Climate Crisis 🌪, two of the most vicious, urgent, and anxiety-spiking topics of the past decade. Both of them are pivoted around mankind, hinged on our intelligence as a species: on how we can successfully ward off these dangers and continue to grow.

The Language of Gait

Sep 11, 2019

Language – the words and sentences used to make our intentions known to others and help us understand others’ intentions toward us – are only part of human-to-human communication. Non-verbal communication makes up three quarters of our ability to communicate.

Within weeks of being born we learn the meaning of a whole physical language, from a mother’s smile to a sibling’s frown.

Project Gaia

October 13, 2021 in Programming, Design

The 2021 edition of ValueLabs Design Inspire Conference was themed around the phrase Regenerate & Evolve. Like last year, we wanted to create the generative identity patterns for our participants and the theme called out for it nevertheless. Our team wanted to pick natural phenomena as a concept to visualize the generative patterns and this gave a chance for us to explore both organic and geometrical renders. Below I discuss the ideation process for the same, our iterations through multiple concepts, and our final choice.

Project Lumen

February 01, 2021 in Design, Programming

Lumen is an experiment in the field of generative design and dynamic branding which investigates the use of computer algorithms to define brand graphic system instead of manually creating its instances. The generative algorithm, also named Lumen, converts the data collected from the registrants at ValueLabs Design Inspire conference 2020, into unique, organic, and personalized visual assets that are manifested as attendee takeaways like ID cards, Zoom backgrounds, etc.
