With deep sorrow, the Mukerji family announces the passing of Meenakshi Mukerji on June 11, 2024. Meenakshi fought very hard and bravely against stage 4 lung cancer for nearly 5 years, and she passed peacefully surrounded by close family and so much love.
Meenakshi was born and raised in Kolkata, India. She obtained her BS in electrical engineering from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, and a MS in computer science from Portland State University, Oregon. After working in the software industry for more than a decade, Meenakshi dedicated her time to her family, her community, travel, and to the arts. She authored many origami books and spread her love and passion for the craft across the world.
Meenakshi was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, wife, and friend. Her strength, creativity, positivity, and love will continue to inspire and touch the lives of those who knew her, and also those who didn’t.

This immediately endeared the creators to me. The new design is not even too heavy or flashy or anything, but the empathy in saying "hey, we understand the old design might have worked better for you for whatever reason, here you go" is lovely.

I have one of her books, Ornamental Origami. I had no idea she was so prolific. And I had no idea she died recently.
I encourage anybody that likes geometry and puzzles to give modular origami a try. You just need lots of little pieces of paper, and some patience. Then you end up with fun little desk ornaments: https://wonger.dev/assets/origami.jpg
