always floating between the physical and digital — robots, tools, hardware, software. my work sits at the intersection of computational design, robotic fabrication, and making. i'm drawn to problems where craft and computation collide.
i'm ananya
, based in zürich, originally from india.
when i'm not in the lab, i make things for fun — /squishables/, /somedays/, and once upon a time, filming motorcycle tours in the himalayas.
