Mostly Dad | Communication Design Project | IIAD

Gaurvi Nagpal, Communication Design (Batch 2021–2025), presents Mostly Dad: an interactive toolkit designed to guide new Indian fathers through the emotional, mental, and practical chaos of early parenthood.

This project was mentored by Aarti Uberoi (Course Leader – Communication Design).

Mostly Dad redefines fatherhood support by creating a safe space for vulnerability, humour, and learning. In a society where dads are often told to “step up” without being shown how, it offers interactive tools, relatable stories, and practical guidance to help fathers navigate pressures: be it providing for their family, overcoming the fear of mistakes, or forging stronger emotional connections.

By blending empathy with light-heartedness, Mostly Dad empowers fathers to embrace imperfection, focus on presence over perfection, and show up consistently for their families.
