Vamika Sardana : In Conversation With A Graphic Designer

Vamika Sardana is a Visual Designer and soon to be graduate of the Strategic Design & Management program from Parsons School of Design in New York. She specializes in print design for apparel and illustration. Her design style lively, bold, full of spirit and extremely happy. About 9 out of 10 times in a day she is thinking about food. She loves creating stories through her designs and takes a lot of inspiration from her culture. She is a very curious person who uses a lot of color in her artwork but is quite the opposite in real life. She is constantly exploring the why’s of things’ and most importantly she does not think Ross and Rachel were on a break 😛

Why are you a Graphic Designer?
It happened by mistake actually. I never wanted to be a graphic designer, I always wanted to be a fashion designer but when I got accepted to MIT institute of design I kind of changed my mind because I thought that graphic design is a more versatile field and also because my other college options were not as good as MIT really 😛

Did you attend school for fine art or design?
For Design, I went to the MAEERS MIT Institute of Design in Pune.
