Whistling Woods International (WWI), India’s leading institute for Film, Communication, and Creative Arts, reaffirmed its vision to develop future-ready creative talent through Design Conclave 2025.
The two-day conclave bridged academia with industry, drawing over 400 aspiring designers. It covered key fields such as Animation, Game Design, Visual Communication, and Fashion & Costume Design.
Unlike typical design events, the WWI Design Conclave created an interactive learning platform. It encouraged critical thinking, innovation, and industry-readiness through expert-led sessions, lab experiences, and workshops. Participants explored new design tools, creative philosophies, and evolving workflows.
“At Whistling Woods, our mission goes beyond education,” said Meghna Ghai Puri, President, Whistling Woods International. “The Design Conclave nurtures imagination, builds creative capital, and prepares students for the opportunities ahead.”
Moreover, the event featured leading professionals from the animation and gaming sectors, including Munjal B. Shroff (Graphiti Studios), Vaibhav Chavan (Underdogs), and Veerendra Patil (Zebu Animation). They shared insights on storytelling, character design, and the creative process.
In Visual Communication, speakers such as Geetaa Bhatt (CleverTap) and Jyotshna Kalita (Halcyon Media) discussed design’s evolving role in branding and storytelling.
Fashion Design students attended an engaging session by Kyara Coelho, who introduced the art of runway presentation and modeling. Additionally, they explored digital draping with CLO 3D and creative expression through collage workshops like CUT.COLLAGE.CREATE!
Hands-on workshops formed the heart of the event, offering real-world exposure in animation, game design, and visual arts. The conclave also featured portfolio reviews, showcases, and collaborative challenges that fostered experimentation and exchange.
Through Design Conclave 2025, Whistling Woods International continues to strengthen its role as a thought leader in creative education. It remains committed to empowering the next generation of designers, storytellers, and innovators.
