Hi, I’m Dhanya, an aspiring graphic designer and content creator who loves telling stories through visual design and digital media. I thrive on turning ideas into engaging visuals, from branding and marketing collateral to web-friendly content. Having faced a wheelchair-bound life since a stroke, I’ve developed resilience, adaptability, and a deep commitment to teamwork. I enjoy collaborating with media and design teams to brainstorm creative concepts and bring them to life, while continually learning new skills to grow as a designer.
