You know how crazy i went on

....
making an archive stop being static.
mapping the oldest language as it evolves over time.
making words visually betray their own meaning.
making a city logo that speaks.

Glasgow Living Identity System

Generative identity

Profile

I approach design as a mechanism for cultural translation and strategic storytelling. My practice is research-first, I start with a question about the audience before making a single visual decision.

Originating from Tamil Nadu, my core work spans brand identity, campaign design, and generative visual systems. Foundational training in photography and cinematography allows me to direct projects with cinematic precision bridging concept and high-craft execution across disciplines.

Currently completing an MA Graphic Design at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA), with a final project building a generative, rule-based visual identity system for Glasgow grounded in Lynchian urban fieldwork and parametric typography.
