Kunsh Sharma/ZNSTL is a product and experience designer, and a visual artist based in IN.

I find humanity fascinating, we're all fighting to spread our own art. Why? In essence, all of what I do, all of what everyone does, all of everyone's perspective, is all art. By nature, art is amorphous, like a system, until it gets some sort of form people are able to look at. Combine this with all the external perspectives that dictate the art we spread. As such, my design tries to stand one layer below the simple things we're able to see. I design things that are formless, contradictory in nature, things with nuance, and I turn them into systems that other humans experience, and dare I say, enjoy.
