Happy Holidays!
In 2009, hemmant jha sent some really interesting pencils this way. Mainstays of India such as the Nataraj and Camlin, these contributions truly rounded out the blog’s international coverage.
hemmant is not just a pencil aficionado – he is also an industrial designer and architect with an M. Arch. from Yale. His firm thinkmore is the designer of products such as the SONY ICF-M1000 desktop radio.
Right now, hemmant needs your support for an important project – Wheelwell. Wheelwell is a non-profit organization devoted to improving wheelchairs, and ultimately the lives of people with physical disabilities. With an impressive roster of accomplished designers and engineers serving as Wheelwell’s directors, advisors, and staff, they are capable of making an impact in their field. But, their project needs funding.
They are are applying for a $250,000 grant from Pepsi Refresh, and are seeking public support through online voting. If you would like to learn more, please see the page here.
