Why are you an Illustrator?

Studied engineering, but my heart belonged to art. Switched gears with a Masters in Graphic Design from MIT Institute of Design, Pune.

You have a distinct style of illustration. How long did it take you to develop your style?
My illustrative voice is still evolving! I wouldn’t say I have a fully formed style yet, but I’m constantly experimenting and exploring different techniques and aesthetics. I am excited to see how it turns out in future.
