Abhishek Ramakrishnan is a Product and Industrial designer based in London. The transformative nature of design, which lies in creating meaningful and desirable futures, is a central theme of his work.
Abhishek’s educational journey and professional experience have shaped his strong vision to Design that often highlights overlooked everyday experiences. His previous projects have explored themes such as time, writing and the social-technical systems around it.
He aspires to continue developing creative solutions that blend functionality with user-centric design. Thus reimagine futures through products and experiences that have a meaningful impact on people’s lives.
Rite explores the act of writing among adult learners, particularly in ESOL education (English for Speakers of Other Languages). The pen attachment tracks the progress of writing to build a persistent writing habit. It aims to motivate learners to write more and also help tutors monitor progress more effectively. The objective is to introduce the benefits of digital technologies into adult education without compromising the analog experience, thereby creating tools that enhance learning and bridge gaps in accessibility. Tutors can set writing goals, and monitor progress and writing behaviours to create personalised lessons and activities.
