About

Hi, I’m Dhakshin Chandrasekar, a Lead Illustrator/Visual Designer with 7+ years of experience creating illustration-led campaign visuals for brands and app experiences. I currently lead illustration and imagery interventions for Swiggy Instamart, where I ideate and deliver in-app and campaign visuals while collaborating closely with UI/UX designers and stakeholders to keep the creative experience consistent and impactful at scale.

Previously, I helped set Swiggy’s new illustration standards through the brand book and core illustration style, and I also worked across multiple client projects at a Chennai advertising agency, producing end-to-end illustrations and designs for social media, promotions, and pitch decks. I enjoy turning creative strategy into clear visual storytelling—whether through storyboards, design systems, or motion/AI image assets—using tools like Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Procreate.
