Warning: May contain traces of ink-stained fingers, midnight design sprints, and a borderline obsessive love for storytelling through design.
I’m Unmani Tewari
a creatively driven and socially conscious undergraduate at Tufts University, pursuing a combined degree in Sociology and Interdisciplinary Arts. My work sits at the crossroads of design, media, and social impact—where storytelling meets advocacy, and aesthetics serve a purpose beyond the surface. I believe that design is more than just visuals; it’s a tool for challenging dominant narratives, amplifying marginalized voices, and creating space for dialogue.
From crafting zines that dissect history and personal identity to designing digital campaigns for LGBTQ+ spaces, my projects explore how art and design can foster connection and cultural understanding. Whether through editorial layouts, animation, or experimental media, I aim to push boundaries and reimagine the ways we engage with the world around us.

The Devil’s Lettuce: A History of Lies, Laws & Moral Panic is more than a zine—it is an artistic intervention that reimagines academic research as a visual and tactile experience. By translating a sociological paper into an immersive, image-driven format, this work challenges traditional modes of knowledge dissemination, making theory tangible and accessible. Through a fusion of bold typography, archival imagery, and subversive illustrations, the zine explores the evolving deviance label of marijuana in the United States, dissecting the interplay of moral entrepreneurship, stigma, and medicalization.
This was the 2nd cover I designed in that semester. I allowed to push myself with typography a bit more with this project.
Final project for Animation 1. Multimedia animation piece using acrylic paint and digital animation put together using Adobe premier pro and after effects.
a version of the company’s newsletter. This image shows a brief overview of my design work which was only one aspect of a larger PR and Communications Internship.
The posts early on are designed by me before the PR team was settled in and decided after recruitment. Although it is difficult to maintain a specific aesthetic with numerous PR members with varying levels of capabilities with design I try my best to make it look cohesive.

I tried to redesign a hair care brand called Anomaly. I wanted to lean into and highlight the sustainability aspect of the brand. I thought changing the typeface was important as it helps situate the brand in an
affordable luxury and established brand sector.
