About

I, Arundhati Mitra, am an industrial ceramic designer with a passion for merging art, technology, and sustainability to create innovative, user-centric products. With a Master’s and a graduate degree in Industrial Product Design, I have built a diverse portfolio that spans industry, boutique design studios, and NGO projects. This varied experience has honed my ability to adapt to different project scopes and stakeholder needs while maintaining a commitment to functional excellence and aesthetic innovation. Throughout my career, I’ve thrived on challenges—from designing cutting-edge ceramic products for high-volume manufacturing to developing bespoke solutions in intimate studio settings and community-driven initiatives. My multidisciplinary approach enables me to blend creative problem-solving with technical precision, ensuring that every project not only meets industry standards but also tells a compelling design story. Driven by a love for sustainable design and continuous learning, I am always eager to collaborate with forward-thinking teams and organisations. Whether working on large-scale industrial projects or community-focused ventures, I strive to bring thoughtful, impactful design solutions that resonate with both users and the environment. Let's connect and explore how innovative ceramic design can transform everyday experiences.
