Greetings
Hey, I’m Aayush. I design, research, and build stories through objects and systems. My work explores play, repair, and speculative futures—sometimes that means crafting experimental workshops, other times, rethinking everyday things. Always curious, always tinkering. Let’s make something interesting.
