Aastrika Foundation: Designing a brand system that makes impact feel real
Foundation Website When a foundation matures, the story can’t remain abstract. That’s exactly the pivot behind the Aastrika Foundation redesign: moving communication from “we care about maternal health” to “here is the progress, here are the gaps, and here is what we’re doing about them.” Tacit’s design approach frames the project as a comprehensive articulation across channels— website, presentations, and social media —with a clear aim: highlight tangible progress , provide

Friendship with Science: designing a Graphic System that makes science feel like a friend
Friendship with Science is built on a simple, generous premise: science done in India, spoken with laughter, and relevant everywhere—because good science always is.

More than “explaining concepts,” the series leans into how scient

Designing Nitya Prārthanā: A Book Built for Daily Chanting
Nitya Prarthana, Books for Chanting Designing Nitya Prārthanā and Nitya Dhyāna is an exercise in restraint—because these books aren’t meant to be “read” the way most books are. They’re meant to be used : held in the hand, returned to daily, and relied upon as a steady textual aid for learning and practicing Vedic chanting.

Designing Anveshana: when a photobook becomes a yatra
Cover page Anveshana is built like a journey—less “photo album,” more “theertha-kṣetra map.” Conceived as a coffee-table book born from the Indica Culture Photography Grant (ICPG) 2021 , it brings together portfolios from eight grantees and prose that frames the work as a search—an anveshana —for meaning across communities and landscapes. But what makes the book’s design memorable isn’t only what it contains—it’s how the content is orchestrated : photography, ethnographic no
