Born and raised in Mumbai, Tara spent her days catching ‘kali-pilis’ (taxis) to her catholic high school located in the heart of the city, admiring the script typography that covered shop fronts.

Now, she is invested in using design for innovation, for uplifting communities, and to band for social and environmental justice.
She believes in the power of storytelling, design thinking, and research that is grounded in the local.

Past obsessions: rock climbing, crocheting, squash, jamming on the electric guitar, meditating, being a gym bro

Current obsessions: skiing, sweet potatoes, Aretha Franklin

Looking for full-time opportunities!
