About Me
- I was born to a doctor father and loving mother in India and grew up with my elder brother who was my friend and guide. In my spare time I enjoy watching newly released films. I also love traveling and exploring new locations, people and cultures-- I have visited 25 different countries around the world and these experiences have inspired my artistic motivation.
- Senior quote:
My passion has remained unchanged. - Why did you choose VCD?
At the tender age of 5, I participated in a art competition and I finished second in my class. This early experience laid the foundation for my eventual dedication to design and art. After completing my high school education in India, with a huge support from my parents, I flew to the opposite side of the world to pursue my dreams of becoming a professional graphic designer. - What inspired you to be a graphic designer?
I wanted to shift from being a fine art student to an emotional and expressive designer. - Favorite keyboard shortcut:
Command+Z - Worst VCD moment:
When I first had to start working in Creative Cloud and I did not know how to open a document on Indesign to start working. I needed five people to show me until I could create a page to work on. - Best VCD moment:
Getting a scholarship to intern abroad in Prague, Czech Republic. - What inspires you the most?
When we work in multi-disciplinary teams and develop products from the ideation phase to implementation, this helps me to engage in the creative process. - Goals in 5 years:
To work in a global design company that provides evolution, sustainability and positive impact through design. - What job would you be terrible at?
I would be terrible at being a waitress! I would drop everything. - What is your #1 pet peeve?
People not cleaning after themselves and/or wasting electricity. - What is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to you?
I have been fortunate enough to travel all around the world, even through the deepest ravines of the Nile because of my parents support and their hard-work.
