About

For over a decade, I have helped governments, educational institutions, startups, and mission-driven organisations turn complex ideas into engaging visual experiences through documentary filmmaking, creative direction, motion graphics, branding, and digital design. As the Co-founder and Creative Head of Countryside Studio, I work across the entire creative process, from research and strategy to production and post-production. Whether it is a documentary that preserves cultural heritage, a campaign that builds public awareness, or a digital experience that strengthens a brand, I believe great design should make information easier to understand and stories impossible to ignore. Over the years I have worked with organisations including Unacademy, Akshayakalpa Organic, Haryana Department of Archaeology, ISB, Imarticus Learning, Pearl Academy, Charcoal Inc., and numerous startups and creative businesses. My work has ranged from directing documentaries and producing campaigns to designing websites, building production systems, mentoring creative teams, and teaching the next generation of designers. I enjoy solving communication problems where design, filmmaking, and technology intersect. My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution, allowing projects to move seamlessly from concept to final delivery. Areas I work in • Documentary Films • Brand Films • Creative Direction • Motion Graphics • Video Production • Website Design If your organisation needs thoughtful storytelling backed by strong design and production, I would be happy to connect.
