Hi, my name is Vishal Mehta and I am a designer and maker interested in creating innovations that make a meaningful impact on both people and the planet.

My work is driven by human-centred design, material cultures, and playful yet simple storytelling—always rooted in culture and inspired by history to shape the future.

I find inspiration in the process of making things emphasising play and humour’s experimental, reflective and intimate qualities as part of my design process to create a more fun and equitable future.

I love scuba diving, football, and connecting with new people. I am always trying to find ways to soundtrack my experiences.
