I am currently pursuing a practice-based PhD that modernizes storyboarding and character development by fusing traditional Indian Fine Art aesthetics with Artificial Intelligence. I enjoy mentoring emerging artists and collaborating with production teams to push the boundaries of visual storytelling.…I am a Concept Artist, Character Designer, and Associate Professor with nearly two decades of experience in classical 2D animation and visual arts.
