Hello, my name is Kangan Arora.
I’m a Lecturer on the BA Textile and Jewellery Design courses at Central Saint Martins. I mostly work with the Year 1 teams and alongside teaching, focus on community building and decolonising the curriculum.
Developing pedagogy around inclusive teaching and community building, especially in a virtual space is what is currently driving my academic practice.
My own professional practice centres around colour and print design. Born in India and now based in London, my work explores bold colour, geometry, abstraction and playful pattern application; with a specific interest in traditional and contemporary colour languages and processes.
I have collaborated on projects with the likes of IKEA, The Office Group, Heal’s and Floor_Story across a range of products including soft furnishings, rugs, acoustic panels and more.
