Art Director & multidisciplinary designer with 6+ years of experience across brand identity, visual storytelling, digital design and experiences.
What I'm looking for
I'm a multidisciplinary designer and Art Director with over six years of experience working across brand identity, visual communication, digital design, experiential design, and creative direction.
My career spans creative agencies, technology companies, cultural organisations, and independent projects. I've worked with brands including Cartier, Burberry, Grey Goose, Glenmorangie, Royal Enfield, and Leegality, developing everything from visual identities and brand systems to campaigns, packaging, event experiences, and digital content.
Most recently, as Art Director at Leegality, I led the development of scalable visual systems for a growing SaaS company, translating complex products and ideas into clear, engaging communication. Previously, at WHITE, I worked on creative campaigns and experiences for global luxury and lifestyle brands. My background also includes editorial design at Foundr Magazine and arts and cultural projects with Serendipity Arts and Art Deco Mumbai.
My approach combines conceptual thinking with hands-on execution. I enjoy building distinctive visual languages, solving complex communication challenges, and creating thoughtful design systems that work across platforms and touchpoints. I'm comfortable taking projects from initial strategy and concept development through to detailed design and final production.
Outside of design, I'm a certified PADI Divemaster with a strong interest in marine ecology, conservation, photography, and documentary storytelling. These interests increasingly inform my creative practice and my curiosity about the intersection of design, culture, technology, and the environment.
I'm particularly interested in opportunities involving art direction, brand identity, creative strategy, visual systems, packaging, experiential design, and multidisciplinary creative work. I enjoy collaborating with ambitious teams while bringing both strategic thinking and a strong visual sensibility to every project.
