Namaste. Vanakkam.
Hello.

I'm an Indian-American graphic designer with two decades of experience crafting visual stories for global brands. These days, I'm the sole designer at a fast-paced, remote fintech startup.

Over the years, I've partnered with organizations of every size — from global names like GlaxoSmithKline and PepsiCo to small businesses with big ambitions. My path has taken me through co-founding a graphic design studio, creating on-air graphics for MTV and VH1 India, working at India's most renowned design consultancy, and leading design in-house at a software company.

Experience in: brand identity, brand marketing, digital campaigns, presentations, packaging, print, product videos, brand animation

I enjoy: tackling hard problems alongside good teams — and I believe in sharing ideas early and often.

Where I've lived: New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, New Haven, Charleston, Washington D.C. — and counting.

My 5-to-9: catching a live show at one of D.C.'s many venues, losing myself in books, puzzles, and board games, plotting my next trip, or making something on my sewing machine or knitting needles.
