Born in Delhi, Now live in the city beautiful- Chandigarh, India. I’ve always been a creative person and a lover of art and technology. Ever since my childhood, I’ve tried to be a ‘creative technologist’ playing with different forms n shapes and so, I think I was always destined to be a graphic designer.
As far as my work experience is concerned, currently, I am holding the position of ‘Creative Director’ at Silicon Innovation.
I’ve also worked for multinational companies like, Bug Interactive (Norway), TRiGMA Studios , Net Solutions & Eyork Inc. Before getting into, web-designing, I used to make graphic designs for surfing, paint surfboards and walls, experiment with still motion, make music and other such stuff.
About My Experience With Design
The first time when I lay my hands on PC, was in 1998, at my uncle’s office. There I happened to design a ‘cup-plate’ graphic painting in MS-paint and that was my first entry into the world of design. After that I started drawing on a regular basis and in the year, 2001, I bought a P3 pc and luckly hardware guy installed Photoshop V5. Then I started experimenting on photoshop and as my interest grew, I decided to complete my ‘fine arts’ course from Punjab University. A longwith studies, I also started working at a company as a graphic designer to hone my skills further.
In 2006, a very good friend of mine, mentioned to me about Deviant Art and in 2007 I joined DA. After joining this site, a major change in my life occurred. I learnt a lot about my designing abilities-thanks to the DA wherein, the comments and critiques posted by fellow artists, on my designs, help me a lot in strengthening my art skills. Till date, I take those comments very seriously.
My Inspirations
That’s true that as an artist, it’s in my nature to draw inspiration from various aspects of life to produce a detailed design. My biggest inspiration is of course, The Mother Nature and to get that, I make sure that I travel a lot to see the flora and fauna of various different places on our planet. My favorite country is Italy J
Apart from the Nature, I also get inspiration by :
Why Design Is Black?
I always believe that ‘Design is black. The reason being, that when I receive a text based docfile from client, that is generally BLACK. J And I read it & design it LOL.
I follow a very simple process. Read design brief> A simple question form on the behalf of design >Wireframe > In the End Produce a unique design.
