About Me
I am multidisciplinary designer with a mission to Attain Digital Nirvana. I do not have any formal training or background in Arts/Fine Arts, but I remember since my school days (when I was in 4th) I was always the first person to put my hand up for any arts & crafts project. I did it all, be it be making charts for an exhibition or decking up the auditorium for any celebration. I guess that interest in creative activities have paid off now.

In my career span I have touched base with all forms of designing. From print design, logo design, multimedia presentations, video editing, 3D modeling Newspaper ads (I really hated the the space limitation) to poster designing. Since the past few years I have been focusing on Web Design and Information Architecture for both online and off-line applications. I am currently working full time as a Creative Lead for Caneum India and also dabble with freelance work now and then.

I am a wannabe geek and in my free time I read various tech / design blogs, this also helps me to be up to date with the latest goings on. I am also interested in photography and am trying to take out time for it. I am also an active moderator at Ultrashock which again helps me to be in contact with designers from all over the world and absorb good design techniques and practices.

Favorite Movies
Terminator 2 (the t1000 morphing effect pushed me towards the first steps into pursuing multimedia), Platoon, Rang De Basanti and Batman Returns.

Favorite Music
Hip/Hop, Trance, New Age Rock, almost anything (it all depends on the mood). Currently listening nonstop to Above & Beyond.

Experience
Close to 10 years now. This includes 2 years of training experience, where I handled 6 batches of 10 students each, training them for various softwares like Photoshop, Illustrator, Director and Extreme 3D.
