FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
RG: I am a 21 year old student, I belong to a totally different culture. I have the colors of India music, festivals and celebration in my blood, my father is an avid bike lover and he always gives some special personal touches to his bike. So from childhood, i am close to motorbikes,especially Royal Enfield. My sources of knowledge are my first-hand experiences and the discovery and science channels. From the age of 5, my love towards the beauty of the automobile, Has propelled me to the design field which, I believe, is the only career that I will be able to enjoy and have pleasure in even when I reach 50 years of age.
FS: Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
RG: DSK ISD takes pride about its presence as the first of its kind - the one and only - International School of Design in India! The concept of the school is unique, based on a mix of students coming from very different cultures, and teaching them how to work in a unified manner within an international context. Design being a subject of creative power, stimulates many European students to discover life abroad, which in turn opens avenues to enhanced skill-sets. The versatile Indian culture aptly attracts these students for a new experience. As for the Indian counterparts, joining DSK ISD is a great opportunity to live an international experience while discovering new cultures and honing a new style of work without having to move abroad.
