JAGADISH
Artisan
Jagdish C is the owner of Jaggusays Creative Works, a startup where he spends his days brainstorming for ways in which he could convert parts of discarded television sets, the insides of a CPU into earrings, and so on. He created a considerable buzz with his stall as more and more people made it a point to stop and stare. Invited by the Crafts Council of Andhra Pradesh, Bengaluru-based Jagadish had displayed earrings made from peepal leaves, a pen stand made with discarded cassettes, a terrarium built in a light bulb and tissue paper holder made from a motherboard, and so on. He says what he loves most is using peepal leaves to create designs on lampshades, coasters, wall hangings and table mats

Coveted jobs as an in-house designer at popular fashion houses of the time - Noor Jehan and Ravissant - paved the way for her to begin her eponymous fashion label with a workshop and studio at her home.

SIMONE
Blogger and Graphic designer
I’m from the Netherlands which is where I’ve lived since my family moved here from London when I was two. I go to an international English-speaking school where I am the only person there who is in a wheelchair, so going to school has most certainly been an adventure that comes with its ups and downs .I was born with Serious Progressive Axonal Polyneuropathy. The condition is progressive, so I started out the same as any other child, but gradually my condition worsened as the disability progressed. I lost the ability to walk when I was thirteen so I’m now a permanent wheelchair-user. I’m an avid reader, an extreme superhero fan, and an enthusiastic film and TV-show lover. Most of the time I can be found curled up with a good book, blogging, or working on my comic book about a team of disabled superheroes. I also enjoy creating digital art which I used to design the headers and the logo for this blog. I type, write, and draw with a pen in my mouth since I have little movement in my fingers.
