I work with Generative AI to create films, ad creatives, and visual experiments that explore how brands, culture, and realism translate into synthetic media. My work sits at the intersection of GenAI, visual storytelling, and cultural context — especially within Indian settings. I’m interested in how behaviors stay constant across time, even as interfaces, mediums, and technology change. I’m less focused on polished or hyper-real visuals, and more on believability: • Imperfection over symmetry • Cultural specificity over generic aesthetics • Intent over automation Through projects like Reimagined Retro and AI-assisted ad creatives, I explore: • How modern brands would exist across earlier decades • How AI-generated realism can both build and break trust • Where human judgment still matters more than generation Alongside this creative work, I also work as an AI developer building production applications — grounding my GenAI experiments in real system constraints and technical reality. I share my work here to document experiments, raise questions, and collaborate with people working at the edge of GenAI, branding, and visual storytelling. If you’re a brand, studio, or creative team exploring what GenAI can do beyond novelty, I’m always open to conversations.
