About

I started with drawing Batman and Superman on paper, cutting them out, and making them fight. I was never great at drawing, but design became the thing I fell in love with. Seven years in, I’m still here.

While everyone chose engineering, I chose Computer Applications, completed Master’s and wasn’t great at that either. Then one day I saw a Shiva poster in my friends room and decided recreated it to reimagining the god as a simple human in Photoshop. That turned out great.

Got my first role as a graphic designer at Yulu, then whatever came next.

Philosophy

  • Clarity above all
  • Scientific, but experimental
  • Deeply empathetic
  • Togetherness

Outside of Design

Cooking relaxes me and is a stress buster. Though I am yet to master the craft of designing a plate.

I read, I run. I draw. I play too much Fifa.
