About Me

I am an illustrator and visual designer from Gurugram, India. I am extremely passionate about visual storytelling in design.

Currently I am a designer at Heads Up For Tails, India's leading pet care brand. I illustrate for Penguin India, and have previously worked with HarperCollins Publishers India and boAt Lifestyle as an intern. With a strong foundation in both digital design softwares and traditional mediums of art, I always strive to create visuals that are detailed, unique and impactful.
