About
Isha Menon
Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay
I ship campus tools that stay small on purpose. One job each: tell you when a dryer is free, show the next laser-cutter slot, warn if two electives clash. No dashboard. The test is whether Hostel 6 stops spamming the group chat.

Product notes
Feb 2026
Hostel 6 stopped pinging the group
The laundry board has one screen. If it needed a second, the WhatsApp thread would have won again.
Oct 2025
The next slot, not a calendar
Studio hours failed as a week view. It worked as a sentence: the cutter is free at 4:20.
Jul 2025
Clash warnings without a portal
Course cart does not log you into the academic system. It reads a CSV and tells you the two papers overlap.

About
Kavya Reddy
B.Tech Computer Science, BITS Pilani
I write software for rooms that already have a queue: the GPU lab, hostel wifi that drops mid-class, first-year OS labs that drown in logs. The brief is usually a WhatsApp thread. The test is whether someone still opens the tool after I leave.

Queueboard
A lab booking board that cut wait time at the campus GPU cluster. Students claim a slot, see who is next, and get a ping when a machine frees up.

Meshnote
Shared lecture notes that stay in sync offline. Built for hostel wifi that drops mid-class.

Tracekit
A tiny tracer for student OS labs. You step one syscall at a time instead of reading a 400-line log.

- Python
- WASM
Notes from the lab
Mar 2026
The queue still needed a human ping
Redis knew which GPU was free. Students still waited until someone shouted across the room. The last 10% of Queueboard was a text, not a dashboard.
Nov 2025
CRDTs on a hostel that loses wifi twice a lecture
Meshnote does not try to be clever when the network returns. It replays the edits in the order the phones actually saved them.
Aug 2025
First-years and a 400-line syscall dump
Tracekit exists because I watched a lab section scroll past the one line that mattered. One step at a time is slower, and they finish.

About
Rhea Kapoor
Communication design, NID Ahmedabad
I start with a photograph, then decide what the type, paper, and room have to do to keep up. Most of the work lives on campus: a night market poster the hostel still puts up, a monsoon specimen that had to survive damp paper, chairs in an empty studio.

Type for monsoon
A type study printed on damp paper, so the letterforms have to survive the weather they describe.

Studio notes
Feb 2026
The poster had to work in rain
The night market print sits under a tin roof that leaks. If the type cannot take a drip, it is not finished.
Sep 2025
Damp paper as a brief, not an accident
The monsoon specimen is printed wet on purpose. The letters swell. That is the weather talking, not a print error to hide.
Jun 2025
Chairs before a room has a name
I photographed the stacked chairs first. The furniture note came later, when the workshop asked what the empty studio was actually for.
