book covers

A dream role at the intersection of art, design and literature; I began my journey in publishing with Penguin Random House India. Given the scope of the Indian literary market, I explored typography, image-making, visual system, art direction and visual storytelling through a wide range of titles. This collection highlights the work that best represents my practice today: conceptually driven, culturally engaged, and crafted with the ambition to operate at a unique level of contemporary design.
