I came to Parsons School of Design in New York after studying engineering at BITS Pilani, and without a design vocabulary. The foundation bootcamp gave me one. These are my graduate notes from that bootcamp, taken at the start of my MFA in Design and Technology in twenty eighteen. In twenty thirteen, from a hostel room, I put my first notes online so others could learn. The full notes are a PDF on this page. Read them right here, or download them. They are free. Since twenty thirteen, at least one person in the world has studied from my notes every day. Learn. Share. Repeat.

These are my notes from the design part of the foundation bootcamp at Parsons School of Design, New York. Graduate level, at the start of my MFA in Design and Technology, which ran from 2018 to 2020.

The bootcamp had a coding part, a design part, and a web part, and each set of notes has its own page here. This one is the design side.

I came from Electronics and Communication Engineering at BITS Pilani. Parsons gave that engineering instinct a design vocabulary. The design bootcamp is where that vocabulary first began.

I have been putting notes online since 2013, from a hostel room, free for anyone who needed them. At least one person in the world studies from my notes every single day. That has held since 2013. These notes are part of that library.

The full notes are a PDF, embedded right here on this page. You can read it here, or open it and download it to keep. They are free.
