Eight pen studies of people working on the streets of Rajkot, drawn on site. Each stall is a piece of architecture somebody assembled without drawing it first.

Tap or hover a drawing to read what it taught me. Drawn between 2022 and 2026; I did not keep the dates.

A street stall gets adjusted over years by the one person who works behind it. The counter ends up at the height the work needs, the signage is lettered by whoever owns it, and the storage is whatever fits underneath. That is the closest thing to pure user-centred design I have watched happen, and nobody involved called it that.
