Design That Makes A Difference


Ninety per cent of Earth's population does not have regular access to food, clean water, or shelter. The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum currently has an exhibit titled "Design for the other 90%". Link here for much more on this exhibition.

Sensory gardens are created with the help of plants that possess special sensory qualities that can stimulate our sense of smell, touch, sight, sound and taste. Using up of sensory plants really helps to give a natural look to the garden and also make that particular area a pleasing area for many visitors. Moreover, these plants also attract the humming birds and the butterflies thus adding more sensory stimulants to your garden.

‘Hello Haptic’ is a flash card kit for the blind children to learn various haptical experiences about nature.
Visually impaired children are able to self-educate themselves about different parts of nature with this learning aid. They will be properly stimulated about diverse characters of nature as well as fulfilling their curiosity through their first-hand tactile knowledge.
Collaborated with Sunmin Lee, Saehee Lee, Youngsoo Hong. Link here.
