My journey as a professional illustrator

Being featured in Design India's 'Change Makers' issue was a humbling moment. It allowed me to step back and articulate why I moved away from digital-only workflows. In the article, I explore the 'Fintech-Design Bridge' and why I believe sketching remains vital in an era of AI-generated content.

My work often starts in my sketchbooks. Whether I am at a coffee shop in Mumbai or working on a custom project, I focus on the 'why' before the 'how'. This philosophy guides my workshops and design talks, where I encourage students to move past the fear of perfection. When I speak at design colleges or conduct workshops, my goal is to bridge the gap between academic projects and the realities of the professional industry.

I believe art is a conversation. If you look closely at my work, you will see a mix of urban themes, social observations, and personal experiments. I am always open to discussing new illustration projects, collaborative murals, or design industry talks. My process is always transparent, and I am happy to share the journey from the first pencil stroke to the final piece.
