About Me

I'm a designer, photographer, independent filmmaker, but more importantly a Leo. I'm obsessed with typography and typefaces. Yes, bad kerning does keep me up at nights. I live in my studio and sometimes visit the home. At The Studio, we create thoughtful experiences for humans and propel brands with soul and substance. I collaborate with people, teams, and businesses to design and develop new experiences, brand identities, strategies, and processes through web, print and digital interactions. User experience is how a person feels when using a service or a product. I particularly love working with companies and people looking to pioneer an unconventional approach towards enhancing those feelings.

Believe it or not, I also have some spare time. I’m a voracious reader and play games in my workstation. Sometimes when I'm bored, I play the piano, cook and engage in smart conversations. I'm fascinated by trains, DC and Star Wars. I believe in Batman. My days are driven by Tea and nights by, Beer.

Oh and pizza; I love pizza.

Education

2022 - 2023

Master of Arts
Creative Enterprise

University of Reading, UK

As someone who has always had a deep passion for the arts, pursuing a diversified course has allowed me to combine my interests with studies in law, management, and entrepreneurship. From the very beginning, I have been able to engage with critical ideas about film and television, which has broadened my understanding of the industry. What excites me most about this course is the opportunity to learn about business and creative organizations, which will prepare me for a dynamic and professional career. I believe that by combining my passion for the arts with business acumen, I can create a unique path for myself that will allow me to make a meaningful impact in the industry.

2009 - 2015

Master of Technology
Computer Science Engineering

Bharathidasan University, INDIA

My field of study dealt with algorithms and using them to solve problems. I chose my electives in Human Computer Interaction, the multidisciplinary field of study focusing on the design of computer technology and, in particular, the interaction between humans and computers & Cognitive Psychology, the study of mental processes such as attention, language use, memory, perception, problem solving, creativity, and thinking. When Human Computer Interaction became the subject of intense academic investigation, it slowly evolved into a broad field which overlaps with areas such as user-centered design, user interface design and user experience design.
