Jul 2012Present · 13 yrs 8 mos · New Delhi Area, India

  • As a freelance practitioner of visual communication design, I have developed my practice from scratch, making stories, books, TVCs, short live action films and animation shorts. I started with a zero in terms of networking skills, and as a one person team, today I have earned clients like Multi-Emmy winning Sesame Street New York, Ogilvy, Google-India, UNICEF-India, UNICEF-UK, HyperCollective, Webchutney and Dr.Reddy's. My graphic novel - A Strand of Tangled Hair' is my passion project. I spent the year 2021 with Sesame Workshop India as their Consultant Creative Director, crafting the organisation’s creative strategy on social media, designing products for outreach programmes and mass media. I spent most of 2022 honing my leadership skills through online coaching with Praxeum, and building skills in IP development for animated series for children. Currently I am developing a picture book, a series of ad films and a branding project. The mind is tickled with the interesting diversification that 2023 promises.
