As Crossed Design has evolved, so has the way we see ourselves and the work we do. Our new identity reflects this evolution, bringing a sharper expression to a studio that has never been particularly interested in staying in its lane. Built around the idea of intersections, it explores what happens when different perspectives meet, ideas evolve and something unexpected takes shape.

For the second year in a row, Crossed has been recognised as India’s Best Open Design Studio at the India’s Best Design Awards 2026.

A good game is like a good story, both need tension and anticipation to drive the engagement. So when we were developing an educational game for disaster preparedness, we started with the question, “What should the players feel?” We didn't just want players to understand preparedness measures, we wanted them to experience the uncertainty of an approaching disaster, the tension of making decisions with limited resources, and the relief of seeing those decisions pay off.

Our goal was to develop an identity that positioned CRAVIS not as a climate platform, but as the intelligence layer that makes climate information actionable.

Design research - users may not always be able to articulate their emotional responses in user research, a designer's understanding of color theory, texture, and visual dynamics allows them to dive deep into the subconscious mind.

As designers, we’re often told to "design with empathy," but what does that even mean? What does it mean when the design is intended for the last mile - the Anganwadi Worker (AWW) in rural India?

Speaking from a visual design perspective, I tried to understand the audience & what their sense of aesthetics would be like.

Sustainability in architecture is a multifaceted concept that extends beyond the traditional notion of using only natural materials.

All this led to introspection about the omnipresent chatter of climate change and sustainability that surround us.

Design Thinking as a philosophy has its roots in ‘understanding’ the user. We love to call it Empathy. Designers ‘empathize’ with the end user, keeps him at the center of the ecosystem, understand their concerns, expectations, definethe real problem or opportunity and then deliver multiple ideas before quickly building and testing them out with the user himself. Let us see how this can be used to understand client’s needs
