What I'm looking for
As an animation film director and designer from India, I thrive on experimenting with various mediums to tell compelling stories. My journey in the industry has been marked by significant contributions to renowned platforms like Viacom18, where I developed brand identities and crafted engaging scripts for iconic shows such as Roadies and MTV Hustle. My role as an Associate Producer allowed me to lead projects, including the creation of MTV NFTs and dynamic sports idents for major leagues, showcasing my ability to blend creativity with strategic thinking.
Throughout my career, I have consistently pushed the boundaries of animation and design. My work on the animated short film 'Elderly Empowerment' not only addressed social issues but also garnered significant online attention. Additionally, my freelance projects have allowed me to collaborate with various clients, enhancing their brand image through visually engaging animated music videos and concept art. I am dedicated to creating content that resonates with audiences and elevates brand narratives.
