Why are you a Graphic Designer?
Strange part is that I always wanted to be Physicist and I was pretty great at Academics especially Sciences. But at the other end, I had a strong inclination towards visual creativity. When I look back, I feel that I was made for the profession I am in currently. I always loved colors, shapes, visuals and the fact that what I saw made me feel particular feelings and how we can control what to make others feel through Graphic Design.

Recently, when I went back home my parents showed me preserved small publications that I used to make by hand. And among those were comics that I used to make. I also used to make small animated clips using stop-motion technique. Even though all of those looked naive, still I could see that I had a sense of Graphic Design and a passion for creating since early childhood and seems like I am following the same now!

Did you attend school for fine art or design?
I come from a school of design. I am trained as a Graphic Designer.

Why are you a Graphic Designer?
Well, It started with drawing on back side of notebooks followed by playing with imaginary superheroes inside my head, then watching super cool shows on cartoon network all day. It was clear to me that I want to do some creative job when I grow up. So I was passionate enough to take this field seriously and gave most importance to self learning through Internet and here I am still learning and creating something creative everyday 🙂

Did you attend school for fine art or design?
Honestly, I have done B.sc. Computer Science from Delhi University. It took me 2 years to make my parents understand that I could make a good and happy living through Animation/Design Industry job also. Finally, when I was in the 3rd year of my graduation I joined MAAC for Advance Diploma in 3D animation. But after 1 year I left the institute because I was not interested in 3D Animation at that time.
After that through self learning and lots of ‘Pencil Ghissing’ I joined 2D Animation Industry and practice
a lot.
