I started off my journey wanting to be a journalist: to find, write and share heart-warming human-interest stories. But along the way, I found myself enjoying playing with ideas and creating them more during my last semester of college. So I packed my bags, moved to Germany from India to learn more about art direction and since then, I have been transforming human interest insights into campaigns. Although I call myself an art director. I also occasionally dabble as a copywriter, illustrator, and a full-time bibliophile.
Fun fact about me: I am a “proud” self-published author of 3 titles which I wrote and designed by myself. Though these books won several laughs (and tears), they will never see the light of day again as they were meant to be gag birthday gifts. Convincing my friends to read them was the second reason why I decided advertising was for me.
