The Designed This Way podcast has been featured as an important learning resource in Type Design Resources — a growing, public, and collaborative collection of materials on type design, covering everything from learning the basics to running your own foundry. This active list is curated and managed by type designer Justin Penner.

Podcast Episode 40 is out!

Tara Kelton is an Indian-American artist living in Bangalore. She investigates forms of drawing and the relationship between human and machine in light of new technology and tools of image production.

Kawal was invited to speak at ADP List's Bangalore event. In that session, he shared his personal journey of growth through parasocial mentorship. He discussed how he applied these experiences to his career and offered practical tips on how others could do the same. Photo credits - Maitrayee

While traveling through Odisha for a design research project with a major Indian brand, Kawal has been documenting the region's stories and imagery. The project will be launching soon. You can catch more glimpses from his travels on Instagram.

Our first official Merchandise 👁️ ‘Jujurana’, based on the state bird of Himachal Pradesh. Crafted in collaboration with the talented Himachali metal craftsman, Kurmi ji, these exclusive, limited-edition pieces were available in just 20 units. 

The response has been overwhelming, and they were sold out in a couple of days.

Swatch Bharat was featured in Futuress magazine, showcasing how this digital gallery is preserving the rapidly vanishing native Indian aesthetic.

The article also explored the story behind the project's origins.

Episode 39 of the podcast features Priya Kuriyan. Priya is a renowned children's book writer-illustrator and comics maker. She is the author of the comic book Ammachi's Glass, and the author of the picture book and children's adaptation of the writer Perumal Murugan's acclaimed novel Poonachi. Kuriyan was the recipient of the Big Little Book Award at the Mumbai Literature Festival in 2019.

Kawal Oberoi was invited to host a speed-design challenge during the TypeLab event. The fun, online tournament tasked participants with creating the most cringe-worthy monogram based on a given brief. TypeLab is a multi-day typographic hackathon, coordinated by Petr van Blokland, complementing the main Typographics conference and workshops. Inspired by the original 1990s TypeLab events, it offers an informal space for spontaneous discussions and interactions around type and design.

Underconsideration LLC invited Kawal Oberoi to speak about the studio's practice at the 2019 Brand New Conference in Las Vegas, USA. Over the years, it has been one of the most highly regarded events in the discipline: Past speakers of the conference have included design legends such Erik Spiekermann, Debbie Millman, Massimo Vignelli, Paula Scher, Michael Bierut, Lance Wyman, Marina Willer, and Bob Gill to name a few.
