This is the online portfolio of industrial designer, Rohan Jaguste. I'm a student of the MFA programme in Industrial design at Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, Stockholm, Sweden. The site is meant to be a one place resource for all my creative and professional work archives. I've recently started working as an intern (industrial designer) at Reload Design AB. Updates to the website have subsequently been postponed!

This site is powered by Wordpress and jQuery, sporting the millionth incarnation of my Nothingman theme. I design, develop and maintain it using Coda, TextMate and Photoshop running on Mac OS X, and of course, copious amounts of Svenska kaffe, kanelbulle, Nick Drake, Sigur Rós, Jack Johnson, and Opeth! For a good online experience, I suggest using any browser other than IE.

I'm keen on industrial design projects which intend on repurposing the science and technology developed for space exploration, to create humane experiences and environments for the lesser privileged societies and regions around the world. Courses at my school, as well as the experiences while interning at Reload Design AB are preparing me to effectively manage the creative as well as the business side of things. Apart from industrial design, I also enjoy working on projects pertaining to experience design, computing and behavioural sciences.

I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science engineering from University of Mumbai, a stint with the Master programme in Design at the Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay, design research experience with Microsoft Research India, two good years of industrial design studies at Umeå Institute of Design, and plenty of experience doing odd jobs pertaining to graphic design, web development and programming, and playing in few local bands.
