–About
I am a graduate from the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) with a Bachelor of Design (BDes) in Graphic Design. My design process revolves around a message-driven design discipline that involves thought, considerable research, conceptual development and image development which is carried out by functional aesthetics and fine execution in every project. My work has been recognized in many online design galleries and design blogs and I have been featured recently in some reputable international magazines and books.

(NoD) Notes On Design

–


"A good designer is a very opinionated person. They are stubborn. They pay attention to details. They work tirelessly to make sure everything is perfect. Something an average person would never even notice, drives a great designer nuts. And great designers don't just care about the applications and websites they are building, but demand great design in everything they do"–Sachin Agarwal
