Blok

BLOK is the multidisciplinary design practice of Vaishnavi Mahendran (India) and Zarko Dumicic (Croatia). BLOK focuses on working with cultural and commercial clients as well as not-for-profit organizations locally and internationally.

Drawing from our individual cultural backgrounds from India and Europe, we work towards creating strong, project–specific design solutions for our clients often exploring design synergies between eastern and western cultural influences, resulting in a unique Indo-European design aesthetic that is specially tailored to cater to a global audience.

We also passionately pursue our self initiated projects, with them often providing a strong source of inspiration for our commercial work. For a comprehensive list of services offered by BLOK, please visit our Services page.

Vaishnavi and Zarko are graduate alumni of Parsons, the New School for Design, New York.
