Sanjana Bakre
Hi!
About
Hi! I’m Sanjana, an illustrator and graphic designer based in Chicago with a background in organizational and social psychology (BA Psychology & Art Practice at UC Berkeley, MSc in Organizational-Social Psychology at London School of Economics).
My work visualises the invisible currents that shape human experience — emotions, relationships, cultural narratives, and collective ways of being — to build impactful, people-centric visuals.
I’ve created brand identities, art directed social media and web campaigns, illustrated for international editorial publications, and led communications strategy for social impact organizations, multinational companies, and academic institutions.
What sets me apart: I approach every brief with both a designer’s eye and a researcher’s mind. I don’t just make things look good — I understand why visuals impact people, and I design accordingly.
Available for illustration, branding, editorial design, and communications strategy projects.
