art, design and engineering ๐Ÿงƒ

๐“†Ÿ contact: gauridesk@gmail.com

Software engineer with a studied eye for how systems are designed, reasoned about, and held together under pressure. I work close to the metal and close to the user, depending on what the problem asks for.

The same precision carries into design. Interfaces, Three.js, generative work, UX. Illustration, comics, writing, film, photography not separate from the engineering, the same curiosity in different form.

I learn by making. Everything else follows.

When away from a screen: outdoors with a camera, watching films with intention, acquiring books at an irresponsible rate.

I write, photograph, design, and occasionally build things in the browser. Two accounts. One way of paying attention.

Different lenses.
Same curiosity.

@planetgauri

Design, architecture, film, personal essays, creative technology. Writing is the source. Everything else is an echo of it. Posters, fit checks, just existing, sketches, and more. What is not yet published lives quietly in Notion, working its way out.

The natural world and its elements. Whatever mother nature has. Insects, water, bark, fungi, soil, light through leaves. Some days a beetle on a wall. Some days a puddle after rain. Slow, close, and consistent.

Writing. Images.

Essays

Personal essays on film, architecture, disease, history, women, old figures, and any thought that deserves following to its conclusion. Published on Substack. Part of the Changing Perspective anthology, 2019.

Photography

Urban nature, earth elements, surfaces, light. Close attention to what most people walk past. Also places, spaces, and the occasional study of something small and easily overlooked.

03
Design and builds

Typographic posters, editorial layouts, Three.js browser experiments. Experimenting with comics, physical media, magazines, and unconventional tech objects. Creative technology as a practice alongside everything else.

03 โ€” What I return to
The things I cannot
stop thinking about.
Architecture and spaceHow buildings shape the people inside them. What cities forfeit when built for movement rather than for inhabitation.
Film and visual languageA director's eye. What a held frame communicates that words cannot. Cinematography as emotional grammar.
Earth and close observationUrban nature. Insects, fungi, water. The geometry of things most people do not look at long enough to see.
Neurology and the bodyHow the brain and body function. Ayurveda, nutrition, the science of habits. Curious rather than prescriptive. Trying to build consistency slowly.
History, women, and medicineOld figures. Women whose contributions went unrecorded. The history of disease. Essays can be about anything at all.
MusicStudied music through class 12. Interested in piano and jazz. A practice in progress.
Reading and writingA consistent reader across essays, fiction, and nonfiction. Writing as a way of thinking, not just a way of communicating.
Creative technologyThe browser as canvas. Three.js, WebGL, the strange possibilities of interactive 3D. Where engineering and aesthetics find each other.
