About

I Design Experiences. On screen, on paper, and on the road. For nearly four decades, I worked as a creative professional, exploring visual design across advertising, branding, UX, animation, and digital storytelling. My journey led to leadership roles where clarity, empathy, and communication shaped every decision. But over time, a quieter calling began to take over. One rooted not in briefs or boards, but in instinct and raw line. Today, I am an artist, sketcher, and founder of The Odyssey Tales. A project that brings together travel, memory, and hand drawn storytelling. My work captures forgotten lives, silent moments, and the essence of the human spirit, often created on the move using fountain pens, handmade tools, and intuition. Travel fuels my practice. From remote villages to city streets, I draw what I feel, not just what I see. Photography quietly supports this archive of experience. My design background still shapes how I compose, observe, and communicate. I am open to meaningful collaborations, commissioned work, or simply a conversation around art, design, and the open road. +91 8600141413 prakash@theodysseytales.com www.idesignexperiences.in www.theodysseytales.com
