I am a multidisciplinary graphic designer and illustrator based in London. 

My formal practice centres on a dynamic blend of cultural influences and innovative methods across publication, visual identity & branding, editorial illustration, animation, art direction, and printmaking. With over 5 years of experience, I have collaborated with several creative agencies and multinational clientele during which I have consistently delivered contemporary and culturally impactful designs, within print and digital media. 

In my personal practice, I explore South-Asian motifs and their global cultural connections, extrapolating colour, typography, graphic, and symbolic elements through a conscious stylisation and an evolving methodology.
