Rushil Bhatnagar is a graphic designer and motion artist, currently building his multi-disciplinary independent practice based out of India. He graduated from MIT Institute of Design in 2018. He has always been drawn to different mediums of design via story-telling and has worked for clients including Prateek Kuhad, Burma Burma India, Nucleya, Netflix, Ritviz, and Tinder. He believes that stories allow us to draw parallels to where dreams can bloom and take any shape that we like - a thought often reflected in his personal explorative work that tinkers around a dream-only utopian future.  Follow Rushil Bhatnagar @rushilbhatnagar: https://www.instagram.com/rushilbhatnagar/ Hosted by Vedant Gugale @gooooogle: https://www.instagram.com/_gooooogle_/ Presented by Baatein: Baatein, which translates to ‘a conversation’, is the National Institute of Design’s unique interactive platform to learn and share.
