My experience as a Graphic Designer and Video Editor working with renowned apparel brands like Highlander, Tokyo Talkies, Getketch, and Vishudh, I have had an enriching and dynamic journey. As a Graphic Designer, I have immersed myself in understanding each brand's unique identity, target audience, and market positioning. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, I have developed a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the design elements that resonate with customers. Over the months, I have created visually compelling graphics for various platforms, such as social media, websites, and print collateral. By applying my knowledge of design principles, typography, and layout, I have consistently delivered designs that effectively convey the brand's message and leave a lasting impact. As I continue to expand my expertise in the field, I look forward to taking on new challenges and working with brands that share my passion for creativity, innovation, and the art of visual communication.

About

I’m a Creative Lead, Art Director, and AI Content Creator building work at the intersection of ideas, design, culture, and emerging technology. My journey has moved from creating visuals to shaping complete creative stories: leading concepts, directing campaigns, building visual systems, and exploring how AI can expand the way ideas are produced. For me, creativity is not just about making something look good. It is about finding the right visual language for an idea and making it feel relevant, sharp, and memorable. Today, my work blends art direction, brand thinking, digital content, and AI-led experimentation. I use AI as part of my creative process to explore faster, push visual possibilities, and bring concepts to life with more range and impact. This space is a reflection of that journey: the projects, experiments, and visual stories that define how I think, create, and lead.
