Design philosophy

Design is both an art and a science. Innovative improvements in design caters to the need of people of the society. Inventive and innovative products must be functionally superior to its available predecessors, ergonomic, and aesthetically pleasing. I love designing products. While designing products I try to generate solutions that are novel and useful. I would like to share a few products that I have designed. You could contact me to know more about any of these products.
