FREELANCE & PASSION PROJECTS
In my personal time, I have created many brand identities and visual styles for start-ups, social organizations, and educational institutes. This helps me nurture my artistic expressions.
I have always felt a sense of accomplishment when extending an artistic hand for social community projects. I have helped NGOs, community institutions, and individuals with their branding and marketing requirements.
PASSIONATELY MUSCIAL
Music is my personal creative enabler. It fuels the urge to re-engineer, to re-construct, and
re-analyze the product.
I have trained and guided individuals in their musical explorations. Conducted choirs and musical performances.
​
I learn by guiding and teaching fellow musicians on music improvisation. It is a way of collaborating ideas and learning from each other’s influences.
+ Pianist/Accomponist
