Japan Guide book
Creative Director: Mario Depicolzuane
Client: OWIU Goods
Designers: Benja Pavlin, Iva Primorac
Intern: Varshini KVSS
I had the opportunity to work on this bespoke travel guide alongside Studio 8585 for L.A-based OWIU Goods. The book reflects on the journey that inspired their newest Japan glaze collection. Personally written by the co-founder of OWIU, Amanda Gunawan, the guidebook features personal photos and a detailed list of her personal recommendations.The book's layout is thoughtfully designed to strike a balance between being engaging and not overwhelming. Images are strategically placed within a mid-grid structure, adding dynamism and visual interest to an otherwise orderly composition.

Musical Month of March
Illustrator: Varshini KVSS
Client: Hashtag Outlines
I have a deep love for music, especially lyrics and the meanings behind songs. This project is a set of five postcards for the month of March, inspired by five of my favorite songs and the ideal settings to listen to them in. The back of each card doubles as a weekly planner, making them both artistic and functional. Each card also features the spotify code for the song. These were printed and sold by Hashtag Outlines.
Art of Collage Making
Given my passion for collage, I chose it as the focus of my first venture into publication design. This hardcover book is crafted for collage enthusiasts, offering an in-depth exploration of the history and evolution of the art of cut-and-paste. The book was the culmination of a three-week course on Editorial and Publication Design, guided by Deshna Mehta.

Tarq Catalogues
Design Director: Deshna Mehta
Designers: Varshini KVSS, Tirtha Gandhi
Client: TARQ
I had the opportunity to design the Tarq artist catalogues for May 2023 while working with Studio Anugraha. Tarq is an art gallery in Mumbai that hosts multiple exhibitions each year and compiles the catalogues into a box set at year-end. To mark their move to a new gallery space after six years, the design of the books reflects this transition. The project was highly process-driven, with careful decisions made at every stage—from determining the book's size and proportions to selecting the color of the pages. A distinctive feature is the inclusion of a signature of differently colored paper, inspired by the materials used in the new gallery space, adding a tactile connection to their updated environment.
