About
I still feel it is not over, DESIGN is continues process of learning and every day I feel more eager to explore something new in the field of design. After receiving a formal design education when I look back and try to connect all the dots, I always go back and stop at a point where all this started, Bhavans Gandhi Vidyashram Kodaikanal. During my pre university years I was awarded gold medal for painting in all India painting competition conducted by Vijay Information at Hyderabad in 1998. This achievement inspired me to go ahead and grab another gold medal for painting from renowned Avantika International Talent Search Competition in 1999. This event made very profound impact on my life during early years of career.
This liking turned into proficiency by earning a BFA in Visual Communication Design from Government College of Fine Arts Chennai and a MA in Visual Communication from Birmingham Institute of Art and Design. This helped me to work for some of the top organization in India as well as abroad. I have received an honorary mention amongst the 10 finalists for prestigious The International New Haven Jazz Poster Competition, 2006. My journey in education is then followed by M.Des from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati.
