About Meanest Indian / Meena Kadri  

When I was 6 years old I won a Kentucky Fried Chicken colouring competition and have been involved in Visual Communications ever since.

Am from New Zealand which I've always considered a very lucky place to be from. After completing a degree in Anthropolgy and some creative wanderings in film & design I set up a graphic design company: Meanest Indian in the Land and later started teaching design at university. Spent a few years in Hong Kong followed by India for a another couple of years teaching at the National Institute of Design (NID) followed by last year in Europe from where I dabbled in writing for the occasional publication, including Monocle magazine and the Guardian Weekly. Now back in New Zealand delving into all manner of things from advertising to co-design.

Am happiest when global roaming with my eyes wide open and my camera ready for action.
