I love to keep up with everything happening in the design world – be it graphics, interactive or even architecture. A graduate from NID, I founded Fractal Ink back in 1997 as a digital design studio. Always ahead of its times, the studio designed may of India’s firsts – Its first portal ‘Indiaworld’ that later was sold to Satyam, its first ever touch screen kiosk for Sun Pharma and many more.

Fractal Ink became Fractal ink Design Studio Pvt. Ltd. In 2011 as it joined hands with Tanay Kumar, Geeta Suthar and Priyanka Agrawal. Moving from strength to strength, Fractal Ink has won many accolades - Best User Experience Design Studio in the country by Pool Magazine, acknowledgement by Microsoft as User experience champions and multiple awards for other apps to name just a few. It grew into one of India’s largest Experience Design Studios. In 2016 Fractal ink got acquired by Dentsu Aegis Network, and in 2017 I decided to pursue other interests and retired from Fractal Ink.

As a design evangelist, I was one of the founding members of the Association of Designers in India (ADI) Mumbai Chapter. As someone who loves to share my knowledge, experience and insights, I teach short courses from time to time at various design institutes. As an adventurer, I travel with other car and motorbike enthusiasts across the country. As a technocrat, I experiment with 3D printing, laser cutting and lathe machines in my workshop. I indulge the musical side of me by learning to play various musical instruments on the Synthesizer.

I live by my motto – I am a visitor on this planet.. will gather as many experiences as I can on this journey.

Please read on our website (qtbb.org) why we decided to become a nonprofit and how we wrote our legal documents to decentralize power within the organization. We were originally founded in 2004 and maintained being an autonomous artist collective until we decided to incorporation as a 501c3 in 2024, twenty years later, so we could better subvert resources from the NPIC those for whom we are working with. Read below for more on how we are keeping our organizing autonomous and led by those we serve. Check out our Guideposts on what this looks like for us.

We recently changed our name to qtbb because we had some rough times and lost our url and we felt like it was a good prompting for a “rebranding.”

This comes from one of our founders who coined qt in 2010 as a shorthand for queer and trans and pronounced it cutie.
While it was never trademarked, we do not know of anyone who can trace it to before 2010 as a unique term on its own and the pronunciation. Also within our lexicon, we often call each other bb which is synonym for bae, luv, babe. So qtbb is pronounced Cutie Babe or maybe it is queer and trans black bloc. We only know that All Cats Are Black … & cute!

Fiscal Sponsor’s Guidestar: https://www.guidestar.org/profile/26-2371202
EIN: 26-2371202

Purpose:
Instigate Mutual Liberation through an intersectional feminist approach to art and healing arts.

Mission:
qtbb seeks to create new works of arts, crafts, and performances to create an intersectional living history. To this goal, we support artists and future artists of all ages with intersecting identities through programming, education, mentorship, wellness, and community as well as trainings for organizations and institutions. qtbb creates spaces to create healing and work, voice, history. qtbb implements healing arts through RAD (Radical, Accessible, Decolonizing) Care by creating mutual (aid) liberation through community care frameworks centering marginalized intersectional voices.

Vision:
We envision a world where intersectional artists are supported, visible, and contribute to the creation of a collective living history and have the resources and support to create art. We envision a world where people, artists, with marginalized identities are not subjected to oppression especially as it relates to survival. We envision a world where everyone has access to the care and resources they need and support to live their dream, whatever it may be but expressly marginalized artists and future artists. We envision a world where Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion trainings are not necessary.

Hub/COG Model
The Hub Model of Organizing is a decentralized approach where multiple smaller, autonomous groups (hubs) work together toward a shared goal while maintaining independent operations. Each hub focuses on a specific area of work or interest but is connected to a central coordinating group (the “hub”) that ensures alignment and collaboration between the hubs. This model encourages flexibility, local decision-making, and collective action, while also promoting solidarity and mutual support across the network. We call our hubs COGs aka Community Organizing Groups. Each Project has a central COG and possibly break-off COGs.

COGs provide leadership and direction to our sponsoring org. While becoming a 501c3 was not a goal, at first, after some time consensus was that Conspiracy of Geniuses would have more freedom and be able to provide better for our artists if we incorporated. That said we wrote our Articles of Incorporation (the paperwork that defines why the org should have nonprofit status), to give the COGs leadership power. The Board of Directors’ only interference is to ensure we remain legal, ethical, and sustainable. We only recently made this shift in programming so we are still trying to find our land legs but continuing projects that have been in the works for several years, a lot of this work is transferring over to qtbb but this might shift in the future. (Cough, we lost our web url but timing worked with our attempts at restructuring.) If you are interested in getting involved in any of these projects, please reach out to qtbb at RiseUp dot net and please consider donating. http://paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/4972795

Anthony Dodson: A Story of Resilience and Transformation
Emerging from the crucible of adversity, Anthony Dodson's narrative begins in Aiken, SC, where his grandmother played a pivotal role in guiding him away from the shadows cast by his parents' incarceration. Despite a turbulent youth, Dodson defied the odds, graduating at the remarkably young age of 16. Undeterred by challenges, Dodson's professional journey began with Verizon, where he quickly ascended the corporate ladder. His entrepreneurial spirit found expression in real estate, and his venture into credit repair marked the inception of his business career. The pursuit of a brighter future led him to Houston, TX, where tragedy struck once more, catalyzing his transformation into an advocate for change. Armed with an MBA and a passion for financial literacy, Dodson, in collaboration with his daughter, authored a groundbreaking 12-book series on the subject. His unorthodox approach resonated globally, propelling him into the international spotlight as a speaker, life coach, and change agent—all before the age of 30. Anthony Dodson transcends the conventional success narrative. He embodies resilience and offers inspiration to those striving to rise above challenges. Join him on a journey where adversity converges with triumph, and setbacks become stepping stones to greatness.
