About
Hi! I'm Sindhu Shivaprasad, a writer, content designer, and generalist.
This garden documents what I explore as an endlessly curious person. This is hardly the entirety of my brain, but it's nice to be able to pick apart my thoughts and strengthen them with research-led scaffolding.
I love reading fiction, writing, and making things with my hands. I've set up home in Bengaluru; it's where I'm from and where I want to grow and help others grow. I spend a lot of time on the internet doing research for leisure. I write Kindred Spirits, a newsletter where I explore agentic ways of living and making meaning. Elsewhere on the internet, I sporadically share updates on Twitter/X.
Previously, I worked at Obvious, an award-winning product design and strategy consultancy. I wore a whole bunch of hats while I was there—from content specialist, to product lead, to Chief of Staff and Head of Marketing and Sales. The four years I spent there were objectively the best four years of my career, and a precious chapter in my life.

Questions
These are a few questions that’ve occupied my mind recently, and I’m actively collecting information on them. Signposts to relevant links are always appreciated :-)
How might we bring tech back in touch with humanity?
What are the many ways in which language (and its byproducts, like stories) has shaped our reality?
Where do great ideas come from?
How do we optimise for curiosity in a world that optimises for material returns?

Read my thesis: Not out of the way, but part of the way

Published writing
I write both to think and to tell a story. Here are some of those stories I've documented in the last couple of years:
A modernist structure in Bengaluru's oldest neighbourhood, for Paper Planes
The past hides in a bowl of saaru, for Memories on a Plate
The many ways one can love a book, for Borderless Journal
Seeing Japan in Noguchi and Noguchi in Japan, for G5A Foundation
Home is everywhere and nowhere at once, for The Curator
Jars of pickle and whisperings of generations, for Kitaab
Finding your personal Zone of Genius, for Humanise (also in print)
Your message lives here, for ISHTBAFSTD, Yummy Colors' Concept of the Year
