About Me

With more than two decades of professional experience in advertising, branding, visual communication, and design education, I bring together creative strategy, cultural insight, and industry practice. My career spans leading agencies including JWT, Leo Burnett, MS&L Publicis Groupe, Everest, DaCunha Associates, Dyworks, Diadeis, and MAC Advertising (Dubai), where I developed brand identities and communication strategies for national and international brands. Throughout my career, I have contributed to award-winning campaigns, including the Guinness World Records 2006 project for the world's largest ice structure at MAC Advertising, Dubai. My work has also been recognized with the Silver Owl Award for Taj Mahal Tea, The Ad Club Madras Award for Rin Supreme (Best Media Innovation), and the runner-up award for the Sunsilk Cinderella Ban Jao campaign.
