Sana Rao is a poet and product designer who has a tendency to focus on how technology can help us communicate in more authentic and meaningful ways. She currently works at Twitter and lives in San Francisco. Recently, I talked to her about her coasters.

Sana, these coasters look like they’re of special places, tell us more about them
They are! Each one is a reminder of a place I’ve been, special moments in my life. I’m glad I took a little bit of care in what I printed, it makes this Coastermatic set very meaningful to me.

The coaster with the ivy (above) was taken outside a study hall in Princeton, NJ. I was on a long weekend trip with friends, and no one was around at the school. There was a tree that was dropping golden flowers everywhere. It was so beautiful, it looked like a fairy tale. I even wrote a poem about it.

I took the one with bougainvillea when I was looking for an apartment in San Francisco. On this day, I’d just been to one that was awful. I’d visited so many places that weren’t right or were too expensive I was worried I’d never find a place. Then I visited this one, saw the bougainvillea - and I knew it was the one! A few moments later, I met who would be my new housemate and got the apartment that day.

This coaster is of an old fort in India that’s been converted to a hotel. It was a secret weekend trip where we spent the evening drinking tea amongst peacocks and levitating flowers.

How do you use your coasters?
I keep one next in my room, for night time tea. Then a couple are in the living room, and I have one at work. I don’t notice the coaster images all the time, but when I do they’re like a portal to that day. A physical timehop.

Thanks so much Sana!

Prachi Pundeer is our guest photographer for #coasterstories over on Instagram this month. Back in 2012 she made her first Coastermatic set. Recently, we asked her about the adventures behind her set.

These coasters are gorgeous! Tell us a little bit about them.

All of these photos were taken my first time in San Francisco. I had moved from New York City for the summer to do an internship as a designer at Facebook. It was an exciting time! I had just completed my first year of grad school, and moved into a warehouse in the Mission District.

When I got to SF, I didn't know anyone in the city. It forced me to be a lot more social, and I also spent a lot of time walking around and exploring. These photos were all taken during those explorations.

Now that I live in SF, my coasters remind me of being new to the city and how fascinating it was to explore the hills and experience so much nature in the city. It's certainly a contrast to New York.

Where do you use your coasters?

I use them all the time, my roommate and I are tea-aholics! We keep two of my coasters in the living room, along with two of hers. The other two are usually in my room, but I'll likely take one into work soon.

Around the same time I made this set, I made another, similar set. I gave that set as a gift to the warehouse I lived in that summer.

About Prachi Prachi Pundeer hails from India and is an avid traveler who likes to tell her stories through photographs. When she’s not snapping her surroundings, she is an Experience Designer at Yahoo where she explores the future of communication tools. She lives in San Francisco.
