About

I'm a Creative Director with nearly two decades of leadership experience in branding, marketing, and storytelling. I founded TWO Design in 2010, a boutique brand identity design firm. At TWO Design, I continue to lead projects for clients across industries and sizes, from the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organisation to boutique brands like Teapoy. I oversee all aspects of the creative business, from strategy, writing, and design to client acquisition and team management. From 2021 to 2023, I also served as consulting Creative Director at rePurpose Global, leading a multidisciplinary team of designers, writers, brand managers, and video professionals to drive impact-focused branding for rePurpose and its clients. As the world embraced the urgency of climate action, I was proud to help hundreds of our partner brands integrate sustainability into their DNA and take accountability for their plastic footprint. My creative career began in advertising, where I worked with agencies like Ogilvy, as a Senior Copywriter. Skilled in leading and motivating multidisciplinary teams across geographies, and crafting impactful narratives, I'm passionate about using creativity for good. I'm always eager to tackle the next big challenge and continue making a difference.

Experience

Repurpose global

Creative Director

Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 · 2 yrs · India · Remote

After running my own design firm (www.twodesign.in) for over a decade, I was ready for a whole new challenge – as Creative Director at rePurpose Global. My 2-year stint at rePurpose had me leading a small but incredibly talented Creative team. And while we produced some great creative work spanning multiple disciplines — across graphic design, copywriting, print design, animation, film, product, and event design, what made it extra special was knowing that we were contributing to meaningful and significant environmental action.

Founder & Creative Director

Jan 2010 – Present · 16 yrs 2 mos · Pune Area, India

As the Founder & Creative Director of the boutique brand identity design firm, TWO Design, I worked with clients across industries, sizes, and geographies — from startups to big corporates to NGOs, and even the UN. We worked on all manner of creative projects, partnering with multi-disciplinary creative professionals from across the globe, keeping our work fresh, unpredictable, and distinctive. I learned to steer the ship and focus on everything from team management, strategy, setting overall design and copy direction, to client acquisition, servicing & budgeting, and business management. I led creatives including brand designers, copywriters, graphic designers, illustrators, product designers, editorial designers, and filmmakers.
Running my own firm empowered me in ways that would have been impossible in a “traditional” agency setup. There’s no challenge an organisation could throw at me now, that would make me break a sweat. Some of our more noteworthy clients: United Nations Food & Agriculture Organisation, Lakme India Fashion Week, Teapoy, and Kausheya Silks (London).

As a copywriter at Brand David, I was fortunate enough to work directly with award-winning Creative Director Amit Nandwani. He taught me more valuable lessons in the few months that I was at Brand David, than I've learnt in my entire career since.
