An MDP is the Major Design Project, which is the culminating project, that each final year undergraduate student at IIAD undergoes.

I’ve observed Aayesha’s work over the years. It was wonderful to see her process for the final project.

Sketchnoted her talk. Inspired by Aashi Bhaiji’s Contagion exhibit sketchnote.

Hearing her experience put me in a room of doubt. She had such flexibility over her project, she could dictate what she wanted to do and, therefore, such a personal & sensitive piece of work came about. When there’s an external client involved, no matter how much leeway they may give you, some amount of control is inevidently practiced.
