ABOUT ME
Hi!
Im an architect from the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, working as a freelance illustrator specializing in
fun, quirky illustrations in a variety of media - pen & ink, watercolor, color pencil, acrylics etc. I also do logos and vector
graphics as well as political cartoons.
I traded in my parallel bar for a pencil to pursue my passion for art and illustration. My training as an architect has
given me a new understanding and appreciation for lines, planes, shadows and depths and unusual perspectives,
which have had a great impact on my artistic style.
I believe design is most impactful and truthful when it is personalized and associated with the memories, relationships
and all the lovely chaos that goes into making us who we are.
