hello there...
I moved to New York City as a 15 year old from India to pursue an athletic career in basketball. Today - I'm a 29 year old Art Director and Filmmaker that made sacrifices to pursue my love for the visual arts and connect it with my ongoing passion for learning storytelling.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Communications from Baruch College - CUNY and a Master’s degree in Film with a specialization in Documentary from City Film - City College of New York.
In the span of seven years, I have worked as a creative across three New York based agencies; Fresh Digital Group (Creative), Shark Group (Social Media Design) and Vaynermedia (Art Director). In addition, I spent a full year as a Junior Designer at Mount Sinai Health System understanding the ins and outs of a traditional brand. On pursuing my passion for filmmaking I have worked with Cineflix as a Development Intern and the Head of Design for an Emmy award-winning organization called THE SKIN DEEP. I also spearheaded their first Diversity, Equity and Inclusive initiative whereby I created a DEI council who met biweekly to ensure the company is meeting the needs of the internal team and the external community. I currently work as a Senior Art Director at Yodel Pass, evolving the brand identity and developing our digital products to meet Accessibility standards.
