About Dhyaan Design
Dhyaan Design was setup by Abhay Adhikari just over 8 years ago as a flexible network for interdisciplinary collaboration to create unique and sustainable multimedia products.
Since then Abhay has worked across different sectors with developers and designers from various cultural backgrounds. His client profile includes corporations, small businesses and individuals from UK, India, USA, Japan and Australia. This includes BBC, British Council, Hertz, Penguin, The Human Rights Law Network and Zubaan Books.
Recently, Abhay has carried out a number of social media campaigns, including a twitter campaign for Humberside Police Department’s Alcohol Awareness initiative, which was picked up by the BBC Breakfast Show. In December 2009 he helped organize the first Social Media Surgery (YorkSMS) aimed at getting charities and community groups in the city to engage with social media. Abhay also conducts workshops on engaging with the WWW at York St John, University of York and Mount School.
In 2009 Abhay completed his PhD research at the University of York for which he was awarded the Sir Jack Lyons Research Scholarship. He has also received the CETL White Rose grant from the Department of Enterprise to develop a commercial application of the prototype breath-controlled gaming device. He recently conducted a 5 city tour of Japan working within the education sector delivering breath-awareness workshops to over 150 school students and 25 primary school teachers. This project was part funded by UK Trade and Investment (UKTI).
