On today's episode I chat with Sangeetha Kowsik , founder and creator of Ihsanishan Design. Sangeetha talks about her role as the serving Hindu Chaplain at NYU/Columbia, the importance of her faith and why she is affectionately called 'The Puja Queen'; and furthering interfaith dialogue.
We talk about her career as a designer, including her role as the previous Head Designer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, being a trained Arab/Islamic calligrapher and the influences that inspire her work.
Sangeetha and I also discuss the importance of representation and normalisation, dismantling stigmas and stereotypes, why she is a proud Tamil American and South Asian Indian, cultural inheritance, music, and of course, she shares a quote that continually inspires her.
You can learn more about Sangeetha and her work at Ihsanishan.
Thanks for listening to the episode. I'd like to thank my guest for their time, insight and being a great sport!
I would also like to thank my producer, Ashanti Omkar, for all her hard work.
