Malay Upadhyay
@malayupadhyay
Creative Head with 20+ years driving brand campaigns, 3D visualization, and team mentorship.
What I'm looking for
I harness over 20 years of design expertise to drive innovative brand experiences, mentor high-performing creative teams, and deliver strategic solutions that elevate brand equity and accelerate business growth. As Creative Head at ARCH CONCEPT, I lead successful campaigns and guide a team of 11 designers.
Previously, as Creative Services Manager at PMG Asia, I streamlined creative workflows—improving turnaround time for render and walkthrough. At ENCOMPASS GROUP, I served as Head, leading teams to new modeling and render techniques while managing multiple design projects across the studio.
My creative foundation spans Art Direction and 3D-focused delivery: I spearheaded visual concepts and client presentations as a Design-C Art Director at JWT DESIGN-C, collaborated with senior creative leads at EURO Rscg as an Asst Art Director, and developed stall designs and space planning as a 3D Designer. I bring a strong blend of 3D modeling, architectural renderings, space planning, and creative strategy to every engagement.
