The Rani deck blends my my passion for pattern-making and illustration into a product that brings people together.

I combined the rich details of traditional Indian patterns, textiles, and jewelry with a modern style to make a fun, clean new design. I wanted to make Rani as great to look at as it is to play with. I drew inspiration from my Indian culture because it’s colorful, diverse, and playful. Each card has layered patterns and details that give you something new to appreciate every time you play.
My favorite part of the design was also my biggest challenge: illustrating each character to mimic the shape of the suit they represent. I really enjoyed the constant push and pull to find the balance between subtle and literal.
