Senior Design Manager | Brand Identity, Visual & Motion Design | Ex-Acko, Zensciences

About

I'm a design generalist who's spent the last decade moving between branding, campaign design, motion graphics, and product UI — usually landing wherever a brand's story needs shaping. Most recently, I led design at Acko as Senior Design Manager, running marketing creative end-to-end. Before that, as Art Director at Zensciences, I built full design systems for global B2B brands like TerraPay and Carrier, and led illustration and motion work for BT's product suite. I like projects that start with a blank page — building a brand identity from scratch (Dr. Rajkumar's Learning App), rebranding an existing product (ClearTax → Clear Pro), or designing the visual language for a campaign before a single asset exists. Comfortable owning a project from concept through final delivery, and increasingly interested in where AI-assisted workflows (Veo, Gemini) fit into that process. Currently exploring my next role in design leadership — branding, campaign, or product design.
