Hello!
My name is Kanhika. I’m an artist + designer from Mumbai and California, currently spreading my creative roots in Wellington, New Zealand.
My day job — By listening to the stories people tell and observing them in their everyday, I identify and help them solve their problems. I design digital experiences, services, and products by keeping the people we're design for in the centre of the process.
My night passion is my art and craft work. Through my artwork, I urge people to slow down and pay attention to the little things in their lives — especially since so much of contemporary life focuses on spectacle. My lifelong love of collecting objects, has now translated into collecting and documenting human behaviour through their subtle physical gestures, interactions, the unsaid social and personal rules they follow. I mainly work with ethnography, performance art and videography as my medium. I have recently gotten back to making jewellery and working with ceramics.
This website is a curation of this different work I enjoy doing.
