Okay, let me take you back to when I was 16, I was just another teenager, struggling with school but sure of one thing: I loved design. While my friends dreamt of becoming doctors or engineers, I spent my time sketching logos and imagining brands. At 19, I landed my first real project - a multi-millionaire NGO owner asked me to design for them. It was a huge moment, and to my surprise, people loved it, leading to more work with bigger brands.

Determined to grow, I sought out a mentor, Om Chinchwadkar, a design legend. He taught me to feel design, not just create it. But when he passed away, I kept going, applying everything he'd taught me. Now, I’ve completed over 700 projects, worked with 64+ brands, and exhibited my work globally. Who would have thought that the 16-year-old sketching random objects for fun would end up here?

But here’s the thing: I’m still that 16-year-old at heart. I still love making cool stuff. The only difference now is that I get to do it for brands that actually pay me (which is a nice bonus). I’ve learned that design is about more than just making things look good; it’s about creating something that connects with people, something that tells a story. And that’s what I’ve always strived to do.

So, yeah, my journey’s been a wild ride - full of surprises, hard lessons, and more than a few sleepless nights. But I wouldn’t change a thing. Here’s to more brands, more stories..
