I am really sorry to hear about dear friend Hanif Kureshi’s passing. He sounds like he made a significant impact on the Indian design community and inspired many with his work. Losing someone who contributed so much can be incredibly difficult.

Those projects sound amazing and truly reflective of his creativity and vision. Street Art and hand-painted type have such a powerful way of connecting with communities, and Daku must have been a fantastic initiative. It’s clear that he had a unique ability to blend art with cultural storytelling. His legacy will undoubtedly inspire future generations of designers and artists.

Losing a talented figure like Hanif Kureshi leaves a void in the community. His contributions not only enriched the design landscape but also inspired so many. It’s important to remember and celebrate his work, as it will continue to resonate with others.

RIP 🙏🏼
