Winning painting competitions in schools sparked my initial interest in the visual arts and that led to a graduate degree in Graphic Design. But it wasn’t until my early-twenties, when I moved to Bangalore, that I began to pursue advertising. With over an experience of 10 years in advertising, I have worked in both online and offline campaigns, branding, UI/UX projects for products as wells as for services. The most important factor in moving forward has been to relentlessly follow and learn the latest tools and trends in design. Hit me up for interesting projects and collaborations
