I’m Kaushik, an illustrator and graphic designer with over five years of experience creating digital and hand-drawn illustrations that bring ideas and brands to life. I specialise in concept art, cartoon-inspired graphics, and visual storytelling that help shape memorable campaigns, websites, and brand identities. What sets me apart is my versatility across illustration styles and mediums, from detailed vector artwork to expressive hand-rendered pieces, ensuring every project feels unique, authentic, and aligned with each client’s voice. I’ve developed custom infographics, iconography, and stylised illustrations for global and local brands across digital marketing, packaging, print, and web applications, helping them stand out through creative, story-led visuals. At Schbang, I combined illustration and social media content design to enhance real estate and consumer brand campaigns, resulting in a measurable 6% rise in engagement. At IDFX Design, I introduced custom iconography and environmental illustrations for clients such as Telstra, Bank of America, and Siemens, creating distinct branded environments that elevated their visual impact. Recently, my campaign “Battling Household Food Waste”, featuring cartoon-style characters that humanised social issues, earned recognition at RMIT University for its originality and emotional resonance. I’m proficient with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Wacom tablets, and I continue to refine my craft in Procreate. Hand-drawn illustration is a key part of my process as it keeps my fundamentals sharp and allows me to bring warmth, texture, and authenticity into a digitally saturated landscape. I’m passionate about creating illustrations that are not just visually compelling, but also meaningful and strategically effective. I’d love the opportunity to collaborate and bring fresh, characterful visuals to your team’s creative vision.
