With over 25 years of experience in design, media, and education, I am the Dean of School of Design at Vijaybhoomi University, where I oversee the academic and administrative functions of the school, and foster a culture of creativity, collaboration, and excellence among the faculty and students. I am also the founder of a design strategy consulting firm that provides branding, graphic design, and visual communication solutions to clients across various sectors and domains.

I hold a PhD in Design Management from IICUT, a Master of Design from IIT Bombay, Tuck Executive Education and a PGD in Journalism and PR from SCMS Group of Institutions. I am passionate about applying design thinking and innovation to solve complex problems, create value, and enhance user experience. I have been involved in several projects and initiatives that leverage design as a strategic tool for business, social, and environmental impact. Some of the areas that I have explored and contributed to include interaction design, illustration, films, music, painting, and microlight flying.
