I’m a Digital Illustrator and Character Designer with over 25 years of creative experience in the animation and visual arts industry. Formerly Co-founder and Creative Director at Aroha Media and Toonzera, I’ve led and delivered projects for clients across India, Europe, and the U.S. Today, my focus is on character design, concept art, and digital illustration—crafting expressive visuals that bring stories and ideas to life.

Trained in both Commercial Arts and Classical Animation, I combine a strong foundation in traditional design principles with storytelling and character development skills.

This blend of fine arts and animation training shapes my approach to expressive character design and detailed digital illustration.
