My Story
Origins
Beginning in Lucknow, where I was surrounded by layers of history, culture, and everyday life that quietly shaped the way I observe the world. I became attracted to the stories people carry, the symbols they connect with, and the meanings they pass from one generation to the next. That way of seeing eventually became the foundation of my work. Whether through illustration, branding, or design, I'm always trying to uncover what makes an idea worth remembering.
Practice
To my thinking, every medium tells a story differently, and my job is choosing the one that tells it best. I never liked being limited to a single medium. An idea shouldn't have to stop at paper if it can become something people wear, hold, collect, or interact with. Sometimes it's an illustration. Sometimes it's a brand. Sometimes it's an object. The medium changes, but the intention stays the same: to create work that people connect with long after they've first seen it.
Approach
I don't think art should end once you walk away from it. The work I create is meant to become part of everyday life — something you return to, live with, and build memories around. While this space is dedicated to my personal practice as an artist, I also lead oddmonk, where I work on branding and strategic design. Different kinds of work, driven by the same curiosity.
