résumé

hi, i’m a touchdesigner/new media designer based in mumbai. as a former economics undergrad, i’m quite comfortable with graphs, though i’ve found a deeper focus in the mechanics of a layout. to me, it’s about taking the unorganized signals that surround us and turning them into something with a clear purpose. i design noise using these raw inputs as a foundation to place intent behind every visual output, translating a sequence of events into slides.

i’ve realized i can spot what good looks like, the hard part is building it myself. that’s the gap i’m closing through tools, decisions, and doing the work. the goal is to build a creative system i can grow inside, where design, motion, and code function together as a single logic instead of existing in silos.
