About

An award-winning Graphic Designer and member of the International Society of Typographic Designers and the Chartered Society of Designers. I bring global experience across the UK, India, Portugal, and the UAE. I’ve strategised and designed campaigns that reached international audiences, including leading the “Waves of Change” campaign in Cascais, Portugal, with my work showcased on billboards across the city. I also led onsite branding at the United Nations COP28 in Dubai collaborating directly with global partners such as PwC, Google, AstraZeneca, and TikTok. Thriving at the intersection of branding, typography, and strategy, I craft purposeful identities and campaigns across digital, print, and experiential formats that spark connection and drive meaningful impact.

The Hunter and the Doves is an ISTD-accredited bilingual children’s book that bridges tradition and modern reading. Handcrafted with wooden covers and inspired by ancient Indian palm leaf manuscripts, it offers a tactile, interactive format for 21st-century readers. English text appears on earthy brown paper (left) and Hindi on transparent overlays (right), inviting children to shift between languages with curiosity. This gradual, playful approach to language learning preserves cultural heritage through a timeless folktale from the Panchatantra, a classic collection of Indian folktales known for imparting moral lessons across generations, creating an inclusive, accessible, and meaningful reading experience.
