About the guest: 

Ishan Khosla is a Delhi-based visual artist, designer and researcher with an MFA in Design from the School of Visual Arts, New York. He is a partner at Ishan Khosla Design LLP and The Typecraft Initiative. Having returned to India after living in the United States for over a decade, Ishan is interested in exploring various facets of the contemporary Indian milieu through design. Whether it is to make a digital typeface from an ancient tribal art or an LED light for a primordial water ewer - he is interested in creating new juxtapositions in terms of material, time, function and culture. He is passionate about the value hand made crafts offer us both from a sustainability and socio-cultural context and his initiatives, such as The Typecraft Initiative explore the crossover between craft, design and tech by making digital typefaces from Indian crafts. Typecraft has caught the imagination of organisations world-wide. Ishan has spoken about the initiative at Typo Berlin and exhibited it at Atelier Muji Ginza in Tokyo, at the London Design Festival and the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum.
