Creative Corner: Shruti Vedula
Though we think of ourselves as profound storytellers, we at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club also recognize that art takes on many forms of expression. From poetry to photography and everything in between, we have a prolific appreciation of art, whether it’s through the impact art has on communities, murals we’ve painted in The Clubhouse, or anything we’ve spotted around the neighborhood.
To highlight such appreciation for the arts, we’ve implemented a “Creative Corner” series – articles and social posts showcasing the recent projects and collections from our community members. This week we are featuring Shruti Vedula, a Georgia Tech student and Director of Marketing for Startup Exchange (SX).
“[This is] my bullet journal, which is basically a handmade planner. I do this because I like to be very organized with my planning for not only school, but jobs and personal life. I love to-do lists and found in the past that pre-made planners didn't work for the unique spreads I wanted. So I started bullet journaling in high school!
I make it visual because I love to design and find that aesthetically pleasing things make me more engaged with my lists and get what I need done! I do a different theme for each month and have fun pushing myself to try new spreads/designs and learning to doodle different themes.”
Besides the bullet journaling and work Shruti does for SX, she recently began a very exciting project here at The Clubhouse. With the help of Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club and her SX team members, Shruti has conceptualized, designed, and is now painting a community-themed mural on our 19-foot wall, which will be unveiled at the end of the month. Community members are invited to check out the finished artwork, partake in virtual reality (VR) painting with Tilt Brush, and raise a champagne glass to toast Shruti and Startup Exchange’s hard work! RSVPs are required, as this is an in-person event with social distancing guidelines in effect, so be sure to secure your spot today – and check out the full story on our website.
