Hi! I'm Samyuktha

Bold, vibrant, and confident is how I define myself and my work. I’m drawn to rowdy colour combinations, juxtaposing pattern plays, and culture-driven brand strategy. Through my journey, I have nurtured a fascination for how design adapts to its environment and simultaneously shapes the culture it lives in.

I began my career in India in 2009 after earning an MA in Graphic Design. Nearly eight years later, after stints in e-publishing, design, and advertising, I graduated with a second Master’s degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), catching up with tech advancements and expanding my creative perspective.

Over the next eight years, I worked in Chicago at two agencies, leading design across brand identity, campaigns, and experiential work. I recently moved back to India, bringing over a decade of global experience, a renewed focus on thoughtful, culturally grounded design, and an unshakeable obsession with basketball.

For the next eight years (since that seems to be an unplanned trend), I’m excited to continue to build my international creative community through collaboration and a shared passion for art, craft, and design.
