ABOUT ME After having completed my Profesional Diploma in Visual Communication at Srishti Institue of Art, Design and Technology, I have completed a year’s worth of experience working as a Graphic Designer at tsk Design in Bengaluru. Under the mentorship of Tania Singh Khosla, I have had the oppurtunity to work a variety of projects ranging in editorial and print design, branding and identities, and spatial graphics. I have worked on reinventing The Park Hotel’s Living Magazine where four editions have published and distributed around India, the Brand Identity Guidelines for a rebranded Vidyashilp Academy, and assisted on various other projects. I have experience working on projects on an individual basis as well as within a team. I have dealt with clients through my projects, and am comfortable with communicating with them when required. I am a hard worker, and I believe that I am quite adaptable and open to criticism. During my time at Srishti, I had the opportunity to engage with a month-long exchange programme in France where I dealt with a new and unfamiliar environment, crossing cultural and language barriers to effectively communicate my ideas as well as work with designers from all around the world. My interests lie with creating brand strategies, logo and packaging design, merchandise design and publication design. I am drawn to vector and hand-drawn styles of illustration, and am constantly doodling things I see around me. I also have been interested in exploring userinterface design, creating wireframes and visuals for websites and applications. I focus on the design and visual language aspect and its usabilty; I prefer a more holistic approach to any project I undertake. I am primarily seeking to enhance my skills and gain real-time experience in the industry.
