I love print. I love pixels. [1]

I started out designing college newsletters and flyers for various non-profits [2]. A few years later I attended a design school to study film [3], but drifted, serendipitously, into publishing.

Over the years I have copy-edited books and textbooks, and illustrated and designed books and covers.

I also work on a small craft + design passion project (पीको × piqo) to keep the handmade ethos alive in the age of AI.
