Hi!! I'm Pranjal ;)
BTW, I make the Best biryani!!!
I'm a PRO in graphic design, UI/UX design, art direction, 3D motion graphics, photography, film production design, and experimental arts.
I am a creative storyteller and multidisciplinary designer with a global perspective. I blend art direction, graphic design, UX, and emerging technologies to create bold, narrative-driven brand experiences. My work includes immersive campaigns, experimental typography, and AI-powered digital storytelling, all of which I bring to life with strategic clarity and artistic precision.
With hands-on experience in film, product design, and interaction design, I excel in fast-paced, collaborative environments. I am curious, driven, and always eager to push the boundaries of what design can achieve.

Design Philosophy
I believe every design holds a reason and a diverse story—just like everything in nature. Nothing exists without intention, and I approach design with that same sense of purpose. My process is driven by curiosity: I observe, question, and uncover the "why" behind things, drawing inspiration from the world around me to craft something uniquely my own.
For me, design is a bridge between meaning and experience—an opportunity not just to communicate but to connect. I value clarity, craft, and experimentation, blending traditional and emerging tools—from typography to motion, UX to AI—to create work that’s thoughtful, emotionally resonant, and creatively bold. With a global mindset and collaborative spirit, I strive to create work that invites exploration and challenges the boundaries of what design can be.
