I build scalable outreach, content, and visual systems that give brands a clear voice.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At CleverSmith AI and Nyx Wolves, I work in business development, building the structure underneath outreach and brand conversations.
Over 4+ years across business development, content, and visual strategy, I’ve developed lead-generation frameworks, messaging systems, and platform content that scale. At United We Care India, I wrote long-form scripts and social copy that increased engagement by 40%, while making complex subjects more accessible and discoverable.
As an independent visual strategist and illustrator, I’ve led content and visual direction across 10+ client projects for culture, lifestyle, tech, and digital brands. I translate abstract ideas into clear, emotionally resonant narratives through editorial content, website copy, campaign assets, moodboards, and reusable visual systems.
I think about how something looks as much as how it reads. I’m moving toward roles where I can shape the strategic direction first, so outreach, content, and brand voice can follow with clarity.
