ESTIMATESAbout Workshops & Speaking Engagements
I want people to see the potential inside discarded gadgets. "Arivininda kriyege", from awareness to action, is the message behind my upcycling workshops and sustainability talks.
Sustainable apparel and student projects
At NIFT Kannur, I ran "Designing Sustainable Apparels from E-Waste" on 12 to 14 March 2025. Students worked on e-waste dresses for mannequins. At Pearl Academy, my 4-day "Eco-Chic" workshop explored wearable art and jewellery.
At UID, GD Goenka University, I led a four-day workshop around "LOOP.ed". Christ University's Liberal Arts students worked with me on the three-day LIBERATI mural representing the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Talks and mentoring
At Christ University's Media Meet on 7 Sept 2023, I gave "Sustainable Art Showcase & Guest Talk" on the 17 SDGs. I have also mentored students at Chanakya University. My teaching themes include contemporary eco-art, sustainability and design thinking.
I wrote "Upcycling for Sustainable Living: Complementing the Circular Economy" for the Springer Nature book "An Introduction to Circular Economy".
These are examples of past programmes, not a fixed duration or kit for every session.

My Story
Namaste everyone. I studied applied arts and worked in graphic design and UI/UX, including at Wipro. I learned electronics through ham radio. My father, D.M. Shambhu, was a painter and sculptor. I grew up in "that creative mess." My e-waste art began as a hobby around 2004. "Kabadi bazaar is my playground." Music and poetry are part of my life too. "I don't Recycle, I Reimagine."
My Work
Art and learning - I turn e-waste into public installations, sculptures, wall art and custom mementos. I also run workshops and talks.
Google Ananta - I created a large wall installation and the skyline sculpture "Future Cities: Built from Yesterday's Technology" for Google's Bengaluru campus.
Sanketana - I made the 25 ft long e-waste mural at Orion Mall, Brigade Gateway, with Brigade Group.
Eco-mementos - I made e-waste pieces for the World Environment Day celebration at Kanteerava Stadium on 3 July 2024.
Wearable art - I guide students in creating apparel and jewellery from e-waste, including workshops at UID, Pearl Academy and NIFT Kannur.
Disconnect to Reconnect - I use art to ask people to rethink their gadgets and connect with nature.
