About
After spending 7years at a design firm, i'm now an independent consultant. My main expertise is in rich media websites and lately interactive experiences using 3d and AR.. , and i try to mix them all whenever possible. Programming is not one of my strengths, which is why i concentrate on the visual design and animation of all my projects... be they games, apps, websites whatever.
Apart from the usual Illustration and Design work i also do CG illustrations as a hobby and partly as an R&D exercise... .I have worked briefly in the 3D PC gaming industry here in Bangalore... its where i picked up most of my 3D skills.
Incidently my final project at college was a sci-fi pop-up book for kids :) and my first part time job was as an illustrator... i still do the occasional print job.. but mostly stick to illustration, animation and video work.
In my free time i play games on my PC and Consoles, read comics, and spend time with my dogs.
Specialties: Illustration, 2d & 3d animation, DIY trash to treasure, pop up books -
