Hey, I’m Ishit Papnai

I turn ideas
into experiences.

Through design, technology
and storytelling.

An engineering student and multidisciplinary designer exploring digital products, visual communication and motion.

A curious mind. A designer at heart.
01 / THE WORKTHINK. MAKE. MOVE.

Three disciplines.
One curious mind.

From how it works to how it feels.
I explore ideas across products,
visuals and moving images.

Explore four product projects and eight graphic projects. Motion projects are on their way.

I like understanding
how things work.
And imagining
how they could.

I’m an Instrumentation and Control Engineering student with a strong interest in design, technology and creative problem-solving.

My work spans product design, graphic design and motion design. From exploring digital experiences and physical products to creating visual identities and animated stories, I enjoy working across different mediums.

I like questioning how things could work better, and turning those ideas into something people can interact with.
