I'm a brand designer and illustrator with 10+ years of experience building visual identities for consumer brands, social impact organisations, and product companies — including hand-drawn illustration-led work. I thrive on projects where authenticity matters and value craft, nature, and storytelling. I work across the full brand lifecycle—from logo and colour systems to packaging, product labels, website assets, and digital marketing materials. My approach is collaborative: I ask the right questions upfront, translate values into visual language, and iterate with stakeholders until the work feels truly right.

    uniE621 Flowing from home
    Book illustration project: Digitally drawn and painted Publisher: Pratham books Art Director: Somesh Kumar Editor: Aparna Kapur Writer: Fausto Aarya De Santis Illustrator: Nausheen Javed About the book Hasina and her family live happily in their rainy village. But one day the tides turn and Amma and young Hasina are swept away by fear and join a deluge of people escaping terror. They become refugees in a new country, away from everything that is familiar. A story that explores the meaning of home and how moving away from it and being able to return is often not a choice.
