Experience
Working independently with media houses, research agencies and business clients on a project basis — infographics, data visualisation and editorial illustration; case study and annual reports; AI-generated videos, plus tools and websites designed and built with AI, from concept to launch, with art direction and design decisions in my hands. Two decades of newsroom rigour in every project: faster turnarounds, fewer hand-offs, editorial-grade standards.
Own infographics and lead visuals for ETtech.com's biggest stories and its social channels — translating fast-moving tech and business journalism into visuals editors can publish same-day.
Worked as Art Director, Designer and Multimedia consultant across multiple brands and organisations, carrying newsroom-grade design discipline into brand and campaign work.
Ran the multimedia desk across three mastheads — timesofindia.com, Navbharat Times and Maharashtra Times — leading a 10-person team of designers, photographers, video editors and content producers.
Responsible for infographics and special-page design for the magazine.
Responsible for infographics, illustration and special-page design.

Mint, Outlook Money, Hindustan Times, Dainik Bhaskar & World View Magazine — the same craft built up over eight years: layout, illustration, infographics and magazine grids on daily deadlines.
