Hello, you can

Brand and communication designer, art director and illustrator.

Based in Milan, Italy

Available for freelance and full-time roles

Approach

I like making things simpler, making them meaningful, and making them a little more delightful along the way.

I work across brand, product and visual design, helping causes, brands, founders and curious people turn complex ideas into clear, compelling experiences: the kind people can understand, connect with and, hopefully, remember.

I was born in India and grew up moving across the country, surrounded by different cultures, languages and wonderfully different ways of seeing the world. Speaking four languages from a young age sparked my fascination with communication, and with how people connect through words, images and ideas. Today I call Milan home, and I carry that love for culture and diversity wherever I go.

Creativity has always been my way of making sense of the world. I draw, design, travel, collect little visual oddities, fall down endless reference rabbit holes and stay curious about whatever might be around the corner.

Drag to spin

Finding freedom within structure.

Kolam is an Indian morning-ritual art form, where simple dots form intricate patterns. It reflects my design philosophy: every detail belongs to a bigger picture.
