Vinod is a dynamic individual who has traded the corporate ladder for the academic one, driven by a passion for learning and sharing knowledge. He believes in creating a two-way street in his classroom, where both he and his students explore the cutting edge of design, embrace new tools, and constantly reimagine the learning process.
His journey began with an engineering degree in material science, but curiosity led him down a fascinating path through filmmaking, photography, animation, theatre, and ultimately, the worlds of experience and interaction design. In the process he achieved a diploma in Film Direction and a masters in Creative Arts. He honed his skills through stints at IBM and EY as an experience designer and consultant, adding corporate experience to his diverse creative toolbox.
Vinod doesn’t limit his creativity to the classroom. He brings it to life in interactive installations, showcased at events like Serendipity arts festival and Set Reset. He even collaborated on a large-scale projection mapping installation to celebrate a major milestone.
Driven by a belief in exploration and playful experimentation, Vinod finds joy in diverse fields and practices. When he’s not designing experiences, you might find him cycling, biking, swimming, running, practicing yoga, curating films, or delving into the exciting world of AI.
In essence, Vinod is a lifelong learner, passionate educator, and creative explorer who believes in sharing his knowledge and pushing the boundaries of design, both inside and outside the classroom.
