What I'm looking for

I'm looking to collaborate with like-minded creatives on meaningful animated stories that resonate with audiences, leave a lasting impact, and inspire others.

I'm directing and producing Howzaat!, a 2D animated short film, independently managing everything from story and visual development to animation, compositing, sound design, and music production.

At CGKatha Studios, I contributed to storyboarding and concept development for in-house animation projects, helping translate initial ideas into visual stories.

I've also designed social media graphics and print covers for Mulund Shikshan Prasark Mandal. I'm pursuing a Bachelor’s in Design specializing in Animation at Atlas Skilltech University.
