I hail from an artisan family in north Kerala. I learnt my first typography lessons enamelling names on wedding rings and engraving designs on tiaras to toe rings.

My journey as an Art Director began with making wedding invitations, obituary ads, and election campaign posters. Years later I worked on big brands like Lenovo, I played a key role in launching Lenovo laptops and smartphones, and I was responsible for growing brands like; Himalaya, SpexMojo.com, Costa Coffee, Scullers, The Arvind Store, ABP News, Ashok Leyland, Dell, Medlife, Sintex, Symphony, Zydus Wellness and more.


 

“He is one rare phenomenon that appeared out of the blue. He came, learned and grew so fast agencies could not keep pace with him. A rare talent and one of my favourite students of advertising.”

At seventeen, I started Photography with a Yashica rangefinder that borrowed from my friend and years later went on to win an international photography award and winning shortlists in several photography contests. I was an early adapter to DSLR filmmaking when it started democratising filmmaking in 2010. I worked on several no-feature films, low-budget commercials, and travel documentaries and acted in some of them.

When I’m not busy with anything said above, I’m singing my heart out. I’m a trained Carnatic vocalist and light music singer who performed on more than 300 stages.
