Creative Director / Creative Technologist. Full-time, remote. Mumbai, India.

Abhinandan Tejaswi
@abhinandantejaswi
Creative technologist building AI products, including StyleLock, a live hairstyle tool with barber-ready cut instructions.
What I'm looking for
At Network18, I led creative development across films, launches, promos, branded content and campaigns for CNBC-TV18, Forbes India and CNBC Awaaz/Bajar. I translated business, marketing and editorial objectives into creative routes, scripts and production-ready communication for television and digital.
In my independent practice, I build and deploy AI-assisted products, creative tools and workflow prototypes, from problem framing and UX through model integration, testing and deployment. I design human-in-the-loop workflows that keep editorial judgment and approval with people.
I built and launched StyleLock, a live consumer AI product that turns a selfie into hairstyle directions and barber-ready cut instructions. I worked across its concept, brand, user journey, model prompts, interface decisions, testing and launch communication.
My work spans advertising, film, television, digital and brand storytelling, alongside hands-on experimentation with LLMs, generative image and video tools, and APIs. I’m interested in making useful creative systems while keeping people responsible for judgment and the final work.
