I came to design sideways. For years what I loved was the stage - narrating, singing, acting, dancing. Then I went to NIFT Kannur to study design, and to my surprise it pulled harder than any of them. Even then, it felt too soon to call the shuffle done.

College was a blur of internships and freelance, logos, brands, posters, social media, packaging, animation, the odd artwork. It led to my first job, at Dorling Kindersley, on the Jackets team: covers for print, Kindle, and audiobooks.

Then buildings. At WeWork I made art for their spaces across the country, Gurgaon, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Bangalore.

Now it's screens. Websites, brand, visual assets, pitch decks, video styleframes. Most things digital, sometimes still print.
