Bansri Thakkar is an Indian graphic designer with interests in typography, print design, branding, packaging and illustration. She is drawn to design punctuated with hints of quirk, humour, craft, interplay of analog and digital media or creative use of language. She enjoys a design process that is a combination of spontaneous work with an emotional tone and work driven by research and intellect.
She is currently pursuing MDes. in Graphic Design from University of Illinois at Chicago, USA to cultivate new methodologies of making through practice-led research and experimentation. When she's not working, she's mostly making lists or looking for volunteer gigs at animal shelters.
