Profile introduction

My name is Vaani Kumar. I recently completed a master’s programme focused on materials and design at ELISAVA in Barcelona, after earlier painting studies in London. My practice connects material research, colour and surface, circular systems and visual storytelling. I work professionally in English and Hindi and can communicate in Korean at an intermediate-to-proficient level.

Four files to prepare

Do not send a passport scan unless an official application portal specifically requires it.

48-hour follow-up

Dear [Name/Team], I’m following up on my short professional-visit proposal for 22–30 September. I would be very happy to reduce the request to one orientation and one staff conversation if that is easier. Thank you for considering it. Best, Vaani Kumar

Phone script

Hello, my name is Vaani Kumar. I sent a short email about an unpaid professional research visit. Could you please tell me who handles international visitors, design research or artist programmes? I only need the correct contact person. Thank you.
