Ragini Siruguri is an independent designer and researcher from South India whose practice lies at the intersection of book design, typography, research and writing. Her approach to work is guided by a belief that any form of design is inseparable from the cultural, historical and political context it is created within.
Since 2016, Ragini has designed books with Tara Books, an independent publishing collective renowned for experiments in the art of book-making. Outside of this, she works on independent and collaborative projects on visual culture, object history and design education.
Ragini holds an MA by Research in Typography and Graphic Communication from the University of Reading, UK, which was supported by the Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation.
