He worked as an Industrial Designer in a Design Studio called Desmania Design, India. In 2009, he completed his Masters in Design from Domus Academy, Milan & University of Wales, Cardiff.

Ltd.
Ishan Roy returned to India in 2010, and has been working as a consultant since. During this time and while in Milan he developed his interest to create furniture and build models with his hands. He began to explore different products through a change of their material properties, and to find alternatives to what is existing.
Ishan Roy began teaching Design Technology, and continues to give a platform to young minds to ideate, explore, make mistakes and learn from them. His way of teaching involves students, to question, to try, to think out of the box and to grow confidence both as individuals as well as through collaborations.
Ishan Roy has approach that design should not be studied in isolation. For this purpose, he wishes to create sessions where understanding other subjects can be relaxing, easy and fun.
Understanding chemistry through materials & reactions – helps understand build quality; physics through resonance, waves & pitch – allows individuals to understand melodies; mathematics through shapes, measurements & sizes – provides a platform to understand measuring units & accuracy during development; social sciences through making them aware of the context and development of the product, ways in which it can be constructed, different alternatives used, a little about its history & a little about the culture – makes students more aware of what is around them, while being responsible towards everything.
It also helps them hone their skills, making them confident, and up for the challenges that lie ahead. All in all a better way to learn, without feeling the pressure at any point – and a way to pick up a new skill at the end.
He wishes to spread this understanding of design to individuals from all corners of the planet, to not only understand the thinking and application of the subject, but also its use and impact on the environment, people and societies.
