What I'm looking for

I want to lead concept-first brand systems and public exhibitions for mission-driven work—where design is built from insight, told across print/digital/space, and shaped to land beyond English-speaking, urban audiences.

I’m a Creative Director and visual artist with 8+ years designing brand systems, public campaigns, and exhibitions that carry a point of view. I build every identity from an insight—not a template—so the work helps people shift how they see a system, not just how a brand looks.

I own the full arc, from concept through print, digital, and physical/exhibition space. My experience spans museums and heritage sites, plus a public exhibition on governance and materialism, where I translated civic and cultural narratives into language an audience can actually use.

I’ve spent six years running a studio—pitching, leading a team, and shipping under real client and budget constraints. Fluent in Hindi and Devanagari as design material, I create campaign-ready stories across sectors like food, fashion, healthcare, and civic/social-impact work, keeping printmaking and typographic practice tightly connected to how I think about consumption and ordinary life.
