Hello, My name is Arjun Mehta and I am a freelance textile print designer and visual artist with over 6–7 years of experience working with Indian fashion and lifestyle brands. My work focuses on developing original surface pattern designs that combine contemporary aesthetics with strong influences from Indian art, culture, and traditional craft practices. I have completed more than 30 freelance projects across various brands, creating prints for both apparel and textile applications. My design approach often draws inspiration from Indian flora, miniature paintings, folk art, and regional craft traditions, which I reinterpret through a whimsical and modern lens to create distinctive prints. As someone deeply passionate about preserving and celebrating India’s visual heritage, I enjoy translating cultural narratives into contemporary textile designs that feel both timeless and fresh. I believe thoughtful print design has the ability to bring storytelling, identity, and emotion into garments. I would love the opportunity to collaborate and contribute my design perspective to your projects. Please feel free to explore my portfolio, and I would be happy to discuss how my work could align with your brand’s vision.
