Whether we are at a project in Dharavi or working with a group like Project Defy, my process is about passing the paint to you. We turn the act of mural-making into a workshop where residents, students, and staff contribute, making the final artwork a true reflection of the space and the people who live in it. Every wall has a story, and in community spaces, that story belongs to everyone. I specialize in designing mural projects that are accessible and engaging, ensuring that the painting process is just as meaningful as the result. My work with schools and NGOs focuses on themes of growth, education, and collective hope, using bright palettes and interactive elements that invite participation. For school projects, I prioritize designs that kids can interact with, like educational figures or play-based murals that turn hallways into learning zones. For community centers and NGOs, I focus on collaborative designs that represent local identity and aspirations. I handle everything from the concept and material sourcing to the on-site facilitation, ensuring the team feels empowered to pick up a brush and own the wall. If you have a space that needs a little more soul and a lot more color, let's jam on how we can get your community involved. ## About Vritti Kotian I'm Vritti, and I believe art is meant to be shared. I work with schools, NGOs, and neighborhoods to turn blank walls into collaborative canvases where everyone gets a brush and a chance to create something together.
