E-waste affects the Indian ecology adversely. Chemicals and fumes from old dumped electronic waste affect birds and animals around the country. This campaign addresses the issue directly using an Indian folk art form. The call for action asks people to call Croma Electronics, who would collect old E-waste from doorsteps and would recycle them responsibly.

Her artistic interest lies in effective communication of new knowledge and research that may help create positive understanding and response to the emotional, social and political landscapes we live in, in order to live fuller happier lives. Creating effective moments of interaction through art and design is powerful as the experience you have is unique and stays with you – lingering and resurfacing at different points in time. Samia works across illustration, graphic design, sculpture and music to create these lucid moments.
Why are you a Graphic Designer?
I have always been fascinated by colour, light and nature. I like to capture fleeting moments in time. I like graphic design because it is a way for me to capture a feeling and play with it.
Did you attend school for fine art or design?
Yes I studied Visual Communiciation at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology for 4.5 years in Bangalore. I also got a scholarship to study printmaking at Il Bisonte Instituto del Arte Grafica in Firenze, Italy.
You have a distinct style of Design. How long did it take you to develop your style?
Happy to answer that. When I see my work from the last ten years, I can recognise that an innate sense of humour (sometimes dark humour) and lyricism shapes my work. I look for the quirky, imperfect & innocent elements which strike a chord.

Why are you a Graphic Designer?
Since I was a child, I’ve loved making things. For me, graphic design is a medium which helps me practice creativity while putting food on my plate.
Did you attend school for fine art or design?
Yes, I graduated from the Srishti School of Arts, Design & Technology in 2013.
You have a distinct style of Design. How long did it take you to develop your style?
I wasn’t too conscious about developing a style. I always knew that I’ve been inclined towards things that are simple and easy to understand and I think my designs reflect the same.
How did you focus so much on graphic illustrations? When did you realise you loved doing it and wanted more of it?
As a child, I loved art & craft. I always participated in drawing competitions in school, and my parents were always very supportive of it. I didn’t really know about graphic design was till I got into design school. I knew that being an animator was a career option because of the Disney & Pixar movies we used to see.

Ad on domestic abuse by Makani Creatives, Mumbai
Touristification of a locale may seem beneficial but locals may not always agree with this idea. Apart from the obvious economic upside, it brings a lot more issues in the city like crowds, pollution, an increase in rates of commodities, etc. All this leads to friction between tourists and locals. To ease this friction, Niantic developed ‘Mayor’. It is an application that caters to both locals and tourists. The locals recommend their favorite spots and activities to tourists. Tourists can vote for these recommendations. Each month the local with the most votes gets to be the virtual mayor of the city. Being the mayor brings a lot of perks such as discounts, free parking, and the like. With Mayor, locals get a new way to enjoy the touristification of their city.

The world didn’t need a virus, but it badly deserved a detox. This fly-on-the-wall perspective of how the world has changed (for the better), thanks to this deadly pandemic, is a long copy print ad done for the International Advertising Association. This was released as a front page, full page ad on the Free Press Journal on 25th April, 2020 and was warmly received on social media. Retweeted by none other than Dave Trott.
