Personal Info
I grew up in a remote village called Nadapuram, the heart of Kozhikode district, Kerala - a city known for its culture and literature heritage in India. I found an obsession with the idea of art and design from the very early years.
Early Career
I began my creative career as an illustrator at the age of 15. As a kid, I remember eagerly waking up to see my illustrations printed on a newspaper, it was my first step into a professional creative system. It felt surreal to experience growing up learning from very self-illustrated textbooks published by SCERT, Directorate of General Education, Government of Kerala. By the age of 18 I have been a part of several academic publications for the Indian public educational sector. This was a journey of discovering how design and art can play as a transformative tool, this is something that deepened my connection between design and storytelling!
